2007 AIH LEGEND wiring is totally messed up -- basket case purchase -
EVERY wire was disconnected and NOT MARKED in any form .
Is there a harley model that even comes somewhat close to being able to use to atleast get running ?

Slow down first. The bike was a peace of **** when built. Always will be. That said it is not hard to wire. Little time and home work.
The wiring part will be done. Other wise a good INDY can work it all out.
Wish you luck with it hope the wiring is the only real issue.

Maybe this will help, do not know if it for your specific model but it may give you an idea of what wires and color code goes where. This is from the AIH listing of wiring diagrams. Copy it and you can size it up so you can read it easier.

Cool

Better off to research the manufacturer of the wiring harness that was used by AIH. Then look up a wiring diagram.
If you cant find that info, consider installing an entirely new Quality marked wiring harness. They are plentiful on Amazon and eBay

Thanks again for reminding us why it was smart not to spend 30-35K on a cookie cutter chopper back then when it was all the rage...Purchasers of these bikes are calling them "barn finds" and have reportedly having widespread issues with the wiring.

"Is American IronHorse still in business?
Ironhorse remained open until the Spring of 2008 when the company closed its doors forever. The stock was liquidated when the company filed for its second bankruptcy. It was sold to Textron, Inc, and the business liquidated."

2006 I almost fell for an iron horse. Took a test ride and left it at the dealer and flew home.
Many pick these bikes up . Sold under a lot of brand names. Cheap parts bikes assembled and toss on market.
Buying one can be a nightmare. A venture best left to those with the skills to do any work needed themself.
