Default Why??

Why is it that people never help a person in the forum with a question about something they need help with? Just want some wiring assistance putting a '13 Fat Bob fender and lighting setup on a '15 Wideglide, utilizing factory available stuff.

Maybe nobody has the experience of assembling a frankenbike like what you are doing. A lot of people here will help some one if there is experience in the field. Seems you are presuming an awful lot from some one with only 20 posts.

You know topics fall in the list ranking and may go unseen by people with the knowledge you seek?

Rather than call out people you don't know for being dicks, you should be patient. Bump your topic back to the top or ask the question in a different way. it's also possible nobody has an answer. If so, congratulations: you get to be a pioneer and find the answers for yourself. Many of us have done just that.

If you think we're such bad citizens, there are other forums on the 'net. Good luck.

Maybe, cause tail light wiring is so basic, you got a tail light hot wire, a brake light hot wire that goes to the brighter filament in the tail light, and a ground wire. Oh yea, a right and left turn signal hot wires and ground wires to the turn signals. You've been helped!

Or just say how Amsoil is the only oil for a Harley...this or that...Soon you will have a thread with 300 replies!!!

Generally...if you ask your question in the right forum you will get the good/right answer within 5 replies.
