Terminal 30/51 has the only large Red wire connected to the ignition switch which comes from the generator/battery, which has power all the time key in or out, so the headlight flasher switch will work anytime it is in the flash down position.

Some pictures of the headlight board in this thread:

Great pictures, today I will look at the board and try to identify the 30/51 terminal. This group of terminals is on the underside of the top of the headlight.
Thanks

I clearly see my red wire attached to the 30/51 terminal. I note your recommendation the wire in question attaches to the 30/51 terminal.
I am not 100 % sure how long this wire has been disconnected. I say this because after completing the reassembly of my restoration last September I had 1 unresolved lighting issue. The issue was with the speedometer instrument lighting and the parking light would not illuminate. Does this wire allow power to the 2 lights for the instrument panel and parking light? The wires to the instrument bulbs and parking light are Grey with Black tracer.
Thanks

Dr Pete , with just a photo of the headlamp restoration it would appear the total restoration of the whole bike is VERY nicely done , your garage is even clean .

The green/red wire (high beam flash in headlight dimmer switch) goes to terminal 30/51 on ignition switch board

Instrument panel light wires are yellow/white and goes to # 56 on ignition switch board

Parking/running, tail light should be grey and goes to # 58 on ignition switch board

Found a better picture of /5 switch board

Thanks to all the Green wire with Red Tracer indeed is mounted on the switch 30/51 terminal... Thanks for all the help.
Received my reconditioned speedometer from Joes Speedometer, great work and fast turnaround.
