I have an 86-99 softail manual however it does not go into detail about the ignition switch and which wires go where. The switch I ordered did not come with any installation instructions. I am doing a tank swap on my 95 XLH 883 DLX sportster and putting on a split tank from a 1994 FLSTF Fat boy. see photos below. any help would be appreciated and wire sizes would be helpful also i.e 18 gauge or what have you.

Split tank 94 Fat boy on sportster

pre fabrication test fit onto 95 XLH 883 Sportster(Fatster project)

have no wire installation instruction. Need wire gauge sizes and which wires goes where.

I still have to remove OEM ignition and run wires to dash switch.

Look at the wiring diagram at the back of your service manual.
That should tell you where all the wires go.

It's shouldn't matter that much. 14-16 gauge should do the trick for those tiny connections
