#41
Sorry to bring a thread back from the past, but my question is to those who have done this no problems with the ECM when cutting the turn signals?
I have 2013 fatboy lo I was trying to add new turn signals the alloy arts ones http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alloy-Art-Bl...-/161240132882
My bike is at a shop and the guys was saying cutting the 3 wires might mess mess with the ECM since the alloy arts only has 2 wires to go back does anybody know?Thanks

Got all the stuff today to do this job this weekend. I may add that when I pulled the screws out of the fork covers I noticed they were 5/16 fine thread. I recalled that carb studs are the same, bought a pair of studs from Pep Boys to mount the signals to. Cost $3 one end is fine, the other standard course and about 1 1/2 long. They made a great place to to hang the signals on with their current bracket and use a chrome acorn to secure them. I almost bought the $40 kit off Ebay for this.

Well that makes it easier for you slim owners. This post relates to a 2011 -???Fatboy. I have no clue if the signal wires have changed on any of the bikes since then.

HELP! Last night I attempted to add a second set of turn signals to my 2013 FatBoy Lo using the plug under the right side of the tank. Once I got everything hooked back up none of my left turn signals worked! The right worked though. I went ahead and disconnected the second set thinking a plug wire was wrong and even without the second set hooked up my left turn signals will not come on. I went through the procedure of pulling the tank back again to see if any plugs may have come loose but found nothing. Any ideas to remedy this would be greatly appreciated!

Ouch! I feel for ya, that's why I don't mess with the electrical on my bike, period. Too easy to go down that rabbit hole. Good luck, let's hope it's something simple you didn't catch the first time. I'd start from the beginning and go from there, unplug and replug through the whole normal set up 'till you find it.
