Dragon 3/4 Mini Chopper Project Resurrection
I am going to start working on my mini chopper I have had for 2 years. Life has been busy and I put it off. I am going to strip it and have it repainted as the paint is peeling and doesnt look that good. I will try to post progress. Anyone have any tips on wiring or anything please feel free to share. I am excited to get this road worthy and legal to ride.

If it runs reliably, I wouldn't make any changes to the wiring at this time. Since you're not riding a dual sport, you're not subjecting the harness to much shock (no pun intended).
Looking forward to this build!

It runs good but the wiring I need done is blinkers and tailights to make it legal here in indiana. Not very good with hooking stuff up. It has a headlight but everytime you hit a bump it goes out which I figure is the cheap china wiring.

I bet it's the headlight plug. If you remove the plug from the headlight, you might be able to make the connectors a little tighter, maybe with a small screwdriver.
It would be easiest to install signals by buying a new wiring harness. If you could find a China dual sport harness for cheap, you could extract everything you need for signals, and then substitute signals that suit your chopper.

Gonna start tearing down the chopper today. Have a couple guys offer to sand blast and paint it for me for free. Just wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram for this or close to it. Thanks and stay tuned.

The frame coating will be tough as nails.

Yes, it's because of the recent upgrade. Try using the search function, which should take you directly to the page you seek.
