Reworded to actually make sense:

So, I'm currently in the process of fixing up my old MZ moped into my own custom little bike. Thing is, over the 2 years of it being in pieces and moving it about here and there, I've lost a fair few things on it. One of which being the handlebars with the CEV controls on it...
These particular ones are IMPOSSIBLE to get hold of, so I was wondering if a "Universal" indicator switch will do the job on a 6v bike. I've found one at a decent price but it says it has 3 wires on it and I'm no good with electrics, is this alright?.

Also, how do I go about using new indicators? I seem to recall buying universal indicators for my RXS but 6v bulbs wouldnt fit... yet I cant find 6v specific indicators... whats the issue here then? am I missing something completely obvious or can I just use any old 12v indicators?

If you can get hold of an old Honda Benley 200cc, I think you would be in luck, as it is only a 6 volt system and if I can remember rightly, it has a multi function switch, this could be customised to suite your needs.
A lot of old British classics like BSA, Ariel and the like were also 6 volt systems.
You could go to the Stafford bike show, I am sure it is October and February, they have everything you will need and possibly a replacement for you.
Best of luck mate.
