Cb750 bobber rear brake light problem

[Gshall66]

I am posting as a new member so I hope I am posting this in the correct section.

I am finishing up my 76 CB750 bobber build and I took the bike to my motorcycle mechanic to tune carbs and some other minor things. When I got the bike back i noticed that the rear brake light and license plate light wires were rewired incorrectly. I can't remember how I had it wired up originally and the person who helped me originally is no longer available to help.
  Now when I hit the rear brake pedal, without the key on, the brake light lights up. I noticed that the hot wire runs to the solenoid which I am sure is incorrect. Can anyone set me in the right direction? I am not using the original harness. The twilight is a license plate light brake light combo.

Here is a simplified wiring diagram for your bike. It should put you in the right direction.
How about posting some pictures of the bike?

Here are some pics. Couldn't get the whole bike in the frame inside garage. I will take better pics once I can get it outside. Raining now.

Thanks for the kind words. It's not perfect by no means but I think it turned out ok for my first build.
 It started as a 75' cb750k, chopped the rear section off and added a hard tail section with a 6" stretch. The front hub is off of a cb450. I painted the centers of both hubs copper that carries over into the paint job. I spiked the rims myself with stainless steel spokes. Tires are Avon 3 .50 x 19 on the front and 4.00 x 18 on the rear.
 I found and bought the headlight at mid Ohio bike days at the swap meet area. I believe it came off a old BMW. I removed the key mechanism that is usually on the top of these headlights and installed a push button for an electric start.
  I wanted a low profile handlebar so I made my own by mixing conventional style handlebars with clamp in style mounts.
  I painted the bike with rattle cans and finished it with a two part clear rattle can to protect from oil and gas. I did a lace insert.

You did that paint with a rattle can. My hat is off to you sir. Is the hardtail from Cycle One?

Yes, hardtail is from cycle one. They do nice work.

Red makes the best hardtails, and frames. He and Kate are really nice too. I have shared a meal with them a few times.

That's just so cool. I love how you mounted the bars, and the teardrop oil tank is very nice. Don't think I've seen that before.   Very nice work all around. You should be proud!

Hey, thanks! There are some things I would like to improve on but overall I am pleased with the results. Do you have a build to show pics of?

I have two builds going on right now. A XL500S and a CB1100F.
