Default TBW color code HELP!

I'm searching but not having much luck.

Installing a SE TBW and have to swap the male ends for female. Can those be found at an auto parts store?

I also need the color code since this one is different colors than the stock one. You know, which wire matches up with the factory color.

I'll keep searching but thanks for the help.

Thanks, actually just found that diagram too.

Can the pin ends be found at an autozone, or do I need to make a trip to the dealer?

Good pics here, second page hand drawn connector wiring and explanation. Used this when I changed bars.

No luck at autozone but it was close so I figured worth a shot. Had to go to the dealer.

All set now. Wiring connections all done, I'll button the fairing up tomorrow. Dark and lighting in garage isn't that great and I don't want to scratch anything.

I had to take off the 12" Yaffe monkey bars and put the stock ones back on. Trading it in early next week for my new CVORGU and these were too high for MD inspection laws (which I think are bogus). Dealer made it worth my time on the trade to do the swap back.

On the original install I was able to get the green plug past that first bend but there was no way that thing was coming back out. Had to cut it. Luckily I still had the SE TBW that I didn't use on the install. Just had to swap the ends and we're all good.

Thanks again for the help.

What tool did you use for attaching the new pins? Looking for one. Someone ran off with mine and they are spendy...

^^^^^ I used a needle nose pliers. Probably not the best method but it worked and the connections are good and tight. If I were to have to do this on a regular basis I would get the correct tool. I just don't see myself doing it very often.

Light was bad last night in garage so I waited until today to button everything up. Took just under an hour and everything works as it should. No trouble codes.

Gonna do the bike swap with the dealer Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday.
