It's a little black box-looking thing that sits beside the flywheel behind the stator cover. It's OUTSIDE of the flywheel in the 2-3 o' clock position.

for no lights, you don't need the gray wires, yellow/red wire, and regulator. you can also remove some of the black/white wires. you can also get rid of that plastic thumb throttle with the on/off for the lights and replace it with a newer aluminum thumb throttle or a twist.

i like a thumb. it felt a little funky at first but you get used to it. now i think i thumb feels weird.
