Relocated the front turn signals on my breakout
#71
I've seen a few posts on here of guys moving the tank back and snapping off the plastic connector to the throttle body ......HD has since changed that with a new version crimped connector . my point was the fuel line should be unplugged either from the tank quick connect or the TB quick connect ( as on my 07 train ) to get the tank far back enough as not to be cramped while accessing the plugs ......I was not critisizing you mechanical abilities nor your methods ....it's all good .

Yeah, I didn't think you were questioning my ability, I'm a hack that likes to read a lot. . I remember reading about people breaking that fuel line connector from removing it, so I never wanted to take it off. I guess maybe I didn't move the tank back as far, it seemed to be ok on my bike when doing it that way.

Are you talking about just switching the bulbs to LED bulbs or switching the signals altogether? If you're just going bulbs then you shouldn't have to do anything as they are made to balance out. If you're talking changing the whole signal then it will depend as some are made to bolt right up with no other modification needed and some are not.

The current plan is ...
True Wraps up Front, Led strip for brake/signal, rear signal lights have the Custom Dynamics LED insert ring that replaces the bulb.

This maybe a stupid question, but is there a part number for the wires? or are there any specific wires I should use? I am relocating my signals on a 14 fxdl, I am pretty sure that once I cut the turn signal wires at the switch, there will not be enough wiring to reach the plug under the tank....So, I assume that I would have to solder wires to the turn signal, then attach the pins and connector and plug in to harness under the tank....if thats the case, what wires should I be using?

Hi All,
I relocated my turn signals from the bars to the forks using the 6 pin plug. Worked like a charm, but one issue. Now the blink rate is off. The actual signals blink correctly, but the arrows on the cluster are 3x as fast as the signals. I assume this is because the plug is outside of CAN bus. I think it interprets the missing load from the signals as bulb failure.
I recall reading somewhere that the system may "learn" and adapt to the change. Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks, FD
