Default Tail light wires with no home!!

Alright I have a 97 cbr 600 that I just bought. She used to be a cheap race bike that some dude just threw together and Im working on getting it street ready. All i need to do is get the tail light and rear blinkers working. If anyone can let me know what theses wires go to, that would save me some time and be greatly appreciated!

I also found 2 wires off to the side, I think one grey one black and I touched them together and the tail light lite up. The rear brake light switch isnt screwed into anything either because i havent found a home for it yet. My bike has the single swing arm on it so its not exactly stock. Ill put more pics up tomorrow!

Also, this is whats on the front lever!

The Brown wire is 12v supply for the brake lights and tag light. The Green wire is for Ground. The Orange wire is for the Left turn signal.

These wires go to the front Brake switch (which is not there).

The 3 PIN connector is for the Tail/Brake light assembly.

If you want me to, I can snap a pic of the wiring diagram for your bic (I've got it in the back of my Clymer).

Tell me if you still need it.

Well, not understanding how to read the wiring diagram is one thing and something that can be fixed with a little education. However, the wire colors are all identified on the diagram. You just have to know how to read it. Once you know the key, it all starts to make sense. Maybe this will help a bit.
