Thanks for the comments everyone!
Lately I've been busy working at home and at work, hence my mini bike build has slowed down (temporarily). I decided to take the evening off and work a bit in the garage. I wired up the headlight with hi low beam switch and kill switch. I also wired up the rear tail light and the brake light switch. Sorry but I didn't take any pictures.

Here are a few pix of the wiring. I should have taken them as I was going... bad Pat, bad.
Picked up some nice wire and bullet connectors from Amazon.
Red wire from headlight bucket is positive and frame is ground. Yellow wire leads to kill switch.
I figured 1 power lead from engine to front and the other power lead to rear.

Pat make sure you put a short piece of heat shrink on the end of the wire cover so that it does not unravel. I am sure you already knew that but I didn't want you to miss it.... It looks good. I did all the wiring on my Super Bronc with the wire cover. I got mine of Ebay along with the self sealing heat shrink.
On the Super Bronc the "kill" button is integrated in the throttle housing so you ended up with a loose wire running mostly wild either zip tied down the throttle cable or the handle bar. I slid some mesh over the throttle cable and slid the wire neatly along the cable inside the mesh. A little heat shrink on the top end and then massage the mesh down taught along the cable with another piece of heat shrink and it all disappeared.

I just posted updated pics of my Super Bronc and you can see how much neater it is than it was. Its good stuff and works well for the little bit of wire we need to run.
This is the heat shrink I bought in 3/8 and 1/4. It is 3 to 1 so you can slide it over a terminal and shrink it all the way down to wire sze while protecting the terminal too.
It has the sealer in it and it wont slide on the wire. I do one end and then massage the cover down to tighten it and then put a piece on the other end. Stays nice and uniform that way with no loose spots.
