In the link below is an option other than Biketronics harness to keep from having to cut the OEM harness to retain fade control.

Are you intending to change the rear tourpack speakers or attempting to run them on the amp?

You can use this rear harness from V Twin Audio...https://vtwinaudio.com/product/v-twi...ier-interface/ This is what I've ordered and will be using.

Or...if you're interested, I will be removing my BT Breakout Harness in the next week or so and will be putting it up for sale.

I tried the Vtwin harness stuff. Was not impressed and lost a lot of sound quality. I might have just had a bad set. I did use the front harness connectors to come from speaker outputs and into my DSP. Not a single wire cut. Basically took their harness and made it work for what I needed.

Run new speaker wire for the rear and get some inexpensive all weather Kickers for now until u decide ur next step. Those OEM speakers are garbage. Plus the OEM speaker wire is 18 awg at best.

Agreed, as I'm not too impressed with the speaker wire in the VTwin harness either. It seems to be similar to the OE wire at 18 awg.
I'll use the harness to tap/plug into the rear signal, to get it upfront to the PAC SNI-35 to the amp. But I'll be running new rear wires from the amp. Replacing the speaker wire with 14 awg ofc.

Well, the speakers and Amp are in, working, and now onto the tuning stage using Posts from this Site. Already impressed with the volume.
Thanks for all the assistance and the great ideas. I will definitely be rewiring the main ground if I add any more wires...right LEFTY33!!!
