I just did the same to my V700. Works great. The hard part was getting the
brackets.
It's really pretty simple to wire.
1. All of the turn signals should ground to the frame or the bracket. I
used some Harley turn signals and they grounded by mounting them. MG Cycle
only had 3 Lucas turn signals at any one time when I was looking.
Run wire for the rears to the headlight bucket. The switch already has
enough wire to get to the front signals.
2. Get power from somewhere, either run new or get from fuse block.
3. Buy a flasher from Wal-mart, etc for about $2.00. Put the flasher
in-line with the power feeding the turn signal switch. (You might want to
apply some electrical conducting grease to the NOS switch before you use it.
Mine was a little stiff until I did so.)
4. Hook up the turn signals to the switch so that when the switch points to
the right the right signals come on. I forget which colors went, but it is
easy to figure out.
I'm going to add a noise maker for mine, in line with the flasher cause I
leave the signal on sometimes. Anyone out there know of a cheap one?
Hope this helps.

I'm planning to add "period" turn signals to the NF 500 (same fuse block and basic wiring as Eldo/Ambo. Got a NOS CEV switch from Mark and Josh, got repop Lucas signals from Gordon and Rick. Checked my various manuals and can't find a schematic for adding the turn signals to the bike. Can anybody help with a parts list (I assume flasher, connector, wire and bullet connectors) and basic wiring instructions for where to make connections? I know there are a couple unused fuses in the block. I guess I jump power to one of them from the segment controlled by the key switch??
