Lol thanks just trying to work out how to get the power to the rh switch as I have three extra wires.

Bryanj:
If you study the UK and US wiring diagrams you will find that the US model has a "link" wire between, from memory, brown and brown blue that will be two of the connections after you remove the link. The power to the light switch is on the black which also feeds the starter button and kill switch.
I dont have the manual to hand but there is a download one on here that will have the wiring diagrams in for you to study

10tenmen - I don't know where we left this conversation in the US forum, since it's down again...

My wiring diagrams are only as good as my source material... but I've made up PDF ones for both the US and UK models.  I started with the US model, then modified it to make the UK changes.  As a result, it's an interesting exercise to open them both in a PDF viewer, zoom and scroll them to the same magnification and position (in this case, the upper left corner of each diagram is where the headlight switch info is), then toggle your view between them and observe how only what's different between them changes.  Could be useful for you...

I've attached them below...
