2020 FLTRK Road Glide Limited and I may have one of every Custom Dynamics Light product available on it. In fact, I have two sets of CD Fog lights! Love the product, but with all those lights comes a connector for each that is made under the seat (for most). With so many plug-n-play connections, things begin to get pretty messy under the seat. I have all of the connections clearly labled using color-coded tape. But there are so many, it's just ugly. It's hard to keep clean, and it's more difficult to get to other connections near the battery tray. It's just not ideal with more than a couple lighting products. The serial nature of the connections make for quick troubleshooting when a circuit shorts or something, but that also creates a mess.

So my question is, have any of you figured out a way to deal with the plethora of connectors under the seat? Perhaps a marine weatherproof terminal block? Looking for ideas to best clean this up, while maintaining the integrity of the connections and the ability to troubleshoot.



With two sets of fog lights, wedge lights, sequential signal (bagz) lights, LED Brake-Stop-Run light, Tour pak led strobes, Brake light strobe modules, plus relays for other P&A stuff, it's dang crowded under the seat! Need ideas to simplify and organize

 

Also interested as I have similar issues.

 

I wouldn’t worry about it.

 

Each item you added was marketed to be a solo install. Have to asked Custom Dynamic?

 

These are the guys to talk to. If anyone can give you a solution, it is them.

Those molex pin connectors are tough. I would probably re-line things up and use zip ties to clean it up and make it look better.

 

Yeah, I did just that. No love. These are "plug n play" and also "series" connections to make troubleshooting easier when some light or wire fails in circuit. I totally get that. I did bring up the prospect of eliminating the bulky connectiors in favor of a waterproof "marine" switch block and they were not opposed, but had no options at the time except for LED lighting cable and connection management.

 

Good outfit. I may bounce this off them and see what they have to say....

 

Series connections? Don't all the lights have to be connected in parallel if they require 12 volts?

I have done similar on a trike build to ensure the extra stuff can be disconnected without cutting, splicing or soldering into the actual harness. Not as many as you have though.

 

What I mean by series is more "logical" for plug n play purposes. But if you short a (+) wire on your CD Bagz right side, for example, your entire right signal will throw a DTC and your right signal will be another clue where to start troubleshooting. Otherwise, these are just normal DC taps into the relevant lighting (or batt / gnd power circuits)

Hopefully, this makes sense, I haven't had my coffee yet
