Good old test light will do the job. Just disconnect the terminal and check witch one got juice. Won't be black... just got 2 options. I don't have "the book"...
Don't make anything too permanant... might be a safety issue here. 2 motorcycle rules. 1- Cager need to see you! 2- Cager need to hear you!
I've been thinking about using some front blinker at the rear sothey can be on all the time for extra visibility... just a though. Ride safe!
I just notice your from Italia... I'm shipping a car over there next week. Mile Miglia!
i believe that if you just want to cut a wire to keep the running lights from coming on, it may cause you a fast turn signal. my flushmounts are only two wire (no running lights) and it has a fast flash.
not sure which wire it is, but like marthy said, it wont be black.
two other choices, more than likely the running lights will be the same color on both sides, but the wires for the turn signals will be different for left and right. so it should be the wires that are the same on both sides, other than the black.

i don't know that you'd get a fast flash for cutting the running light. flushmounts get the fast flash because the LED's don't have enough resistance for the bike to recognize there's actually a turn signal. therefore it goes into trouble mode
Blue is the running lights yes. Just I would cut it from the turn signal wire not from the bike's OEM wires.
Now, you won't get the fast flashing. BMW, the two wires are the turn signal wire, and the ground. The third is the running light.
You only get flash flashing if you put on after-market turn signals without a relay. This is because
After-Market turn signals draw less power then the stock turn signals. With that in mind, the bike thinks the turn signals are dying and so they start to blink fast.

Guys, I did it this afternoon. The blue wires are the one of the running lights: I cut them and everything works fine (not any faster). Now I'm dealing with the problem to colour the bulbs orange because in Italy you can't buy in a regular store bilux bulbs orange. Why bilux if I had cut the running lights wire? Because the lamp holder is for bilux bulbs (they are different also from the rear ones). Just to let you know and to share with you my frustration while painting bulbs with orange glass paint!!!
