    Hello everyone,
    here is my current project.
    I bought this '99 Sprint ST because I just love the fit on this bike as a 6'3" rider, it is perfect.
    I bought it from a guy who stripped it to race it.
    So I stripped it more as I already have its twin I bought in the USA as my daily commuter.
    I bought a Citroen Traction Avant headlight and Honda blinkers for it.
    Then I started making my way through the electrical harness, the previous owner just cut the wires without terminating them properly, just plain stooopid.
    Now I have the dashboard wired, the pilot/position light wired, headlight and high beam identified.
    I have a bunch of wires still unidentified, I am armed with patience and a multimeter :D

    I have the Triumph Service manual from my American one and for some reason, this French bike's wires colors do not match what is in the Triumph manual, or the Haynes manual for that matter... :D

    I'll post more pictures as I go along as I have to make a dashboard for the Koso speedo/tacho/volt/misc lights and I intend to keep the triumph gas and temp gauge. I also have to fix the side and read panels as they are all broken and scratched... Oh and a license plate holder :D

    The fairing that came with the bike is in better shape than my #1 bike and I will eventually swap it.

    Good luck with your electrical jigsaw puzzle.

    I found that the white/grey are for the alarm.
    The purple has 12+ directly from the fuse box, no ignition or contact switch.
    Another purple/green I found in there is for the headlight #2 and I will use it for the spare LED light.
    I have no juice going to fuse #2 which is for the blinkers, tail light, and brakes... :(

    I think I have a bad blinker relay, it works with one 12v incandescent bulb and stops working as soon as I add a second one.

    The blinker relay is working as expected, I put 10w bulbs instead of 5w.
    Now the next task is figuring out why I don't have a tail light.

    ... and now I have a tail and brake lights.
    Next, I need to find a way to mount the dashboard, coolant temp gauge, headlight, fog lights, and blinkers combo... in a neat way :D
