Front Turn signal relocation for 2011-2012 Softail/Fatboy
This is my first write up so please be kind. I hope it can help others who want to do the same. Much credit goes to forum member Fat11LO for providing some great info.
Parts needed
1. Tyco 070 Multilock 6 pin connector/6X black Amp/Tyco
Multi-lock connector set + terminals
(Harley Part # 73156-96BK)
2. 18" each Pink,Brown, GXL 18 gauge wire
3. 36" each Blue, Black GXL 18 gauge wire
4. 1/8" and 1/4" shrink wrap
5. solder
Start by removing the turn signals. You can cut them off at the hand controls but leave enough wire so you can heat shrink each individual wire. Then you can tuck the the the ends back into the controls through the slot where the wires exit after removing the small gromet.
I did it a bit different as I took apart the hand controls and and cut the wires from inside. Either way will work.
Now that you have the signals removed you can now build your wireing harness. Start by extending the signal wires.
I cut the signal wires and different lengths so I could stager my splices. (keeps the harness from having a big buldge in one spot)
Remove the front and rear bolts holding you gas tank on and you can slide the tank back enough to expose the signal plug on the right hand side.
I used a great a kit from Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fatboy-TURN-...item19ba5e5aad
Once you mount the signals you can route your wires and cut to proper length. I routed my wires through the cow bells by drilling a hole in the back side of each and ran the wires through some groumets. Next I heat shrinked the entire harnes with 1/4" Heat shrink. Once you have your wires run you can install the termanals and male receptical.
Plug it in and fasten up you gas tank and your done.

I Have A 04 Heritage And The Front Light Bar Was Taken Off, Well I Put A New One On From V Twin ,With Turn Sig And Running Lights, The Light Bar Is Grounded To The Frame QUESTION Do I Have To Run Ground Wire From The Lights To The 6 Way Connector ? Being There Is Only One Wire On The Turn Lights,, And Passing Lights I Got Hooked Up Already , So It Just The Turns , They Do Light Up When I Tested Them With The One Wire.
Thank You For Your Help

Well I relocated my signals to a light bar as per instructions in the kit which followed your instructions to a T. Only problem is the bike will not start now. Getting a bcm low voltage code and dealership says that I have to bring it in so they can reset the voltage. Bike just turns over will not do anything else. That's on a 2012 fatboy lo

Front Signal Relocation for 11 Fatboy Low
Thanks for the write up but I'm a little unclear on a couple things regarding the length of the wires and the location of the Tyco connector. I'm a new member of this forum and if you wouldn't mind sending me a PM so I can ask a few more detailed questions before I attempt this job..I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Pete

I'm in the process of adding apes and the light bar w/blinkers on my '13 Fatboy right now. Worried about the Can/Bus, I haven't cut anything yet. I also haven't opened the box for the light bar yet. From what i'm gathering from you guys, I can cut the blinker wires and call it done or do is there more to it? I also see 2 cut wires in the pic, what color wires are they so I know which ones are safe to cut. I'm super worried i'm going to screw this new ecu thing up.
