- If the magneto and wiring are for the same bike, they will match. The 135 wiring kit comes in two different types, once has a oil low warning light and the other one does not ( the oil sensor came in the RXZ, the 135 came without that ).
Ok, will go through some basic LED stuffs & learn it to do by myself instead of relying on someone or atleast get to know what needs to be done rather than blindly giving it to someone (I'm poor when it comes to electicity); But it sounds exciting to have a white bright backlight on the speedo console as it has always been poorly yellow lighted.

Oh!!! Yes, another question, all the present backlight glows on AC & I assume that LED's require a DC right? So should I take a separate line from rectifier or something like that?

Thanks for the tip JD
