Turn signal relocation
Thanks for answering my questions so quickly. Do the wires run directly from the connector to the blinker? Does it matter in the connector which is left or right for the turn signals? You also mention needing 36" of blue and black wires. I'm guessing that's enough to cover two 18" lengths of each? Sorry if these sound like silly questions but I really just want to be 100% sure before I attempt this. Thanks in advance for any and all your help.

Look at the plug under the tank. It has 6 wires going into it.
1. Black Ground
2. Blue with brown stripe signal
3. Blue marker
4. Blue marker
5. Blue with purple stripe signal
6. Black ground
Use a test light and make sure you have the brown and purple wires in the right sport for your left and right signals.

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.

Turn signal relocation
Misbehaven,I wanted to thank you again for the write-up and for answering my questions ASAP. I finished the job and everything went fairly smooth thanks to your help. I did have the issue of my dash board indicator light flashing to fast but reset that by trying the hazard light trick, and all is right again. Than you again!

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread but finally getting to completing this project and have a few more questions...
After relocating the turn signals, extending the turn signal wires, where do I plug them into? Do they go directly into the male plug on the right side of the tank OR do the new extended blinker wires go into the old existing wires coming out of the male end prior to the plug connector?
So is it male connector, stock blinker wire soldered into new blinker wire OR remove all stock blinker wire & plug new wire into male end where the stock wire goes?
I hope I explained that correctly, I know its a lot of jargon... Like always, any help is appreciated.
