need 59 pan wiring diagram with siglites

I'm putting a 59 pan together from several boxes of 59 and 1961 FLH parts. I don't have wiring diagrams showing signal lites in either my Clymer book or HD book. Does anyone have a diagram they could photo or scan ?
My other signal lite question is the switches .I have 2 switches on the left handle bars ,both have 3 wires ,one is a 2 position switch ,the other is a 3 position switch .The 3 position switch also has a 3/8 hole in the front for maybe a horn button or something to go into ,but its missing (no button or wire ) The 3 wires go to the 3 position switch ,nothing to do with the hole ,that would require more wires ...
On the right side of the handlebars are more holes for another switch. These weren't cop bikes ,I'm wondering what they all could be for .
I guess maybe ones the headlite high/low switch ,the other could be the siglite and horn combination switch ,and the one on the right might be for the spot lites
How am I doing so far ??
So now I really am stuck for wiring diagrams ..spotlites,siglites,and no diagrams ...Oh well you guys will know what to do ... (won't you ??)

59 didn't have signal lights,doesn't look like they had signals in the 6volt era.The switch that was used on the 65 and up models was a three wire three position switch.The color code was red,green and brown.Red goes to terminal board position 23then to the left blinker,green goes to terminal board position 11 then to the flasher,brown goes to terminal board position 20 and then to the right blinker.The whole system is powered off from the main switch through the backside of the flasher.Clear as mud huh....Hope this helps.I got this from the moco factory manual 1959-1969 part#99482-69.

Not really sure if you can make this work on the 6 volt system.Good luck,Ron

Thanks nmaineron,I have that same service manual..I notice they don't show signal lites until 1968/69. I have a copy of a Harley factory accessory catalog ,it shows signal lites for 1959 and a fantastic wiring diagram.I don't know if they came on 59's as an option .but a few years later they sold them for the 1959 models ,and others as well.They do mention 1959 specifically ,and tell you how to mount them ..In real easy to understand (non technical ) language for a change...
