So i fogured it all out now to just get the right parts and ill be good to go
Wired a brake light from my harley to the blinkers and they worked fine the led arent pulling enough load just like was stated a few times even with the elec flasher still got nothing maybe i need one with less of a load need but ill figure that out
The tail light was just 100% wrong for this bike and left it with just a running light and no brake light so i need a 3 wire light and throw it all back together and ill be good to go

Really dude, you need to get a shop manual.
When running, you should get near 13vac.

If they refuse to buy a shop manual, adjust the valves, buy diaphragms for the carbs, etc, hack the bike up, I stop responding. It's one thing to help with advise, it's another to do all the work for them. Then another to help destroy a perfectly good bike. One person comes to mind immediately.

To each his own, said the lady before she kissed her cow. :woohoo: Most shops won't even look at a bike that's been hacked up. Just don't remove any structural supports. 
Good luck

I dont plan on hacking it up more then already done they chopped the seat portion of the frame thats all i could see doing its my rider for while i build my harley so i want it to still be comfortable while lookin pretty cool i think all ill be doing aside from adding the blinkers and fixing the brake light is adding padding to the bobber seat cuz that thing was def not made for comfort
