Curvy has black/white as earth on the normal lights, white/black is brake light live and brown is the running lights(/sidelights whatever)...

So, just find which wires on your pointy lights have continuity to each other, presume they'll be a common earth. Then put 12v to various wires, it'll only work with the polarity one way so that'll show you which wire is which.

On a slightly different note, how the hell are you going to fit pointy lights to a curvy? Or are you using the whole rear end?

yep got it in 1 fitting the whole rear end, its gonna take a take a little fabrication but i sourced a full rear with clear back lights and integrated indicators.

finding that when i wired the indy's up they didnt work will it require a led box for voltage etc it has the proper suzuki connectors so i thought they would just work, the chap who sold it to me assured me they all work

LED's don't draw enough power to make the stock timer work, presume they flashed fast enough to cause epeleptic fits when you tried them?

It's been covered a lot before, you either need a motrax flasher relay, which is the better option, or a lot of ballast resistors, which is the daft option.

(you can junk the entire stock relay, bypass all the numpty switches, less to go wrong)

Always wondered what that would look like and was going to do that one day.

The only issue with the clear lensed brake/indicator combo is that they use LEDS, and not Luxon leds like the std rear light on a pointy, thus being harder to see in the daytime.
