2012 front turn signal relocation
Ok so I finally decided to relocate the front signals to the forks on my 2012 street bob.
I cut the wires from the controls, yanked down the wiring harness, downloaded the harley instructions for their kit, looked once, looked twice, and looked another million times and I am still lost.
There are two connectors down their, the black connector and the white connector, that are not connected to anything. From how I understand the instructions I am supposed to hook my turn signals up to those, now my question for yall is, does the harley kit come with those two male connects (pn - 73153-96bk) or are there two more connectors up there that I dont see that I am supposed to hook my turn signals up to then connect them to the other connectors?
Thanks for all the help, there is a reason I did not become an electrician....should have called the father in law...well....no im better off asking yall

On my 2013 bob the pig tails for the turn signals were about 8" farther down the harness from where the control wires plug in ,,Also do you have the right kit ??

The last page of the instruction sheet has the contents of the kit, and yes it shows them in the kit.

With the HD kit, you get new wires to run from the relocated turn signals to the white and black connectors you have already found. Yes, the HD kit includes molex terminals that you install/crimp on the 3 individual wires from each turn signal, and these terminals are inserted into a new connecter(again part of the kit) that connects to the connectors you have found.
Now since you are not using the HD kit, I would probably cut off the connectors you have found and hard wire or solder the wires together that run from the relocated turn signals. I am assuming that you have new wire to run from the turn signals.
Hope this helps a little.

That answers the question, thank you!
I ordered the connectors already, and yes I already have wire ready to go for the signals.
Thanks for the answer and all the replies everyone!
