seeing as its a brake light, you should be fine. 2014s dont have issues with LED signals, so before that its hit or miss, depending on the lights.

This is another option... Have this on my bike and have gotten nothing but positive compliments... If you know how to wire it's very easy

If you have some basic knowledge of automotive wiring it's very easy... To make things easier I cut the connectors off the factory lights and soldiered them in so this is a plug and play light for me

You don't have to, unless you want the running light and yes I did... The only downfall to the setup I have is the leds face the tire, but the link I posted is for a new light they now make that has the leds facing back so the visibility is much better, I actually plan on upgrading soon... But it is so perfect for the sportster fender, just get the 8in light

Thanks
So I bought this light off of eBay and it arrived at my house surprisingly fast. The only thing that it didn't come with.... a wiring diagram or instructions! I'd hate to be cutting and splicing the wrong wires on my '14 48. Can anyone give me some sense of direction? The light only has 3 wires coming out of it. Running, brake, and ground I'm assuming? Where do I tie it in to? Thanks in advance!

If its a copy of the HD version, I still have the instructions with wiring diagram from when I did mine. I'm at work until 12, but I can scan it when I get home and post it.
