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.
