Installing Front Turn Signals and Horn Question.
Thanks for the help... again.
Here is a pic of the units, taken with my crackberry so the quality is not so great...
The front turn signals can be reached by pulling out the plastic gusset insert on the bottom of the frame neck right behind the A frame and front end. Once you pull enough of the wires out to look at them you will see there will be two 3 wire AMP connectors that split off of the harness that runs up the bars. Ususally a white connector is the left signals and a black one is the right signals. You plug the wires that came with your signal bullets into the connector to match the colors going out. Usually if I remember right tab #1 is always Black, tab #2 is either Violet or Brown depending on right of left, and tab #3 are the running lights which are usually blue. If your bike has no signals it may be also missing the male AMP connector. You can buy them at the H.D. hopefully or some automotive shops. You need the 3 wire ones.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me or it looks like the bullets in your picture only have two wires. Those will only work on the rear signals. The front ones need 3 wires. (Edit later, well they will work for signals if plug into #1 and #2 but you won't have front running lites)
You said you wanted to remove them after inspection. I would not run without signals, yes they don't always look good, but what if you get caught riding home in the dark without them.
Also if you don't have a 2" tank lift it will be easier to reach the wires by sliding the tank back some. Pop the fuel pump pressure line (left side, rear of tank), wrap a towel around it when you pop it since it will spray for a second.
Then separate the fuel gauge electric connector (left side, front of tank).
You can leave the crossover tube connected (it's a pain to drain tank) . Remove your seat and pad the areas at front and rear of tank with big towels. The remove front and rear tank mount bolts and slide tank back.
