Default Joker Machine turn signal HELP

I recently purchased the fork mount LED turn signals from joker machine.

I need help on how to install them. I can't seem to grasp on how I'm going to move them from the bars to the forks and still have the wire reach the turn signal switch since it seems to be hard-wired directly from the current bulb housing.

Has anyone done this on a 2013 Street Bob that can give me a step by step?

Thanks

im almost sure that you will splice the turn signal wires at the neck triple tree or in the neck of the frame. grab a wiring diagram and you will see the color of the wires you need. i do not think the wiring changed on the 2013s, i service manual will help its a great $70 investment

someone that has done this before will soon chime in.

I had them installed by the dealer, because the can-bus system can give some problems when hooking up LEDs.

You're going to tap in at the neck. You can terminate those wires coming out of the switch housing, as you won't need them any more.

There's not a lot to it really. Just remember you're going to lose running lights up front. If you don't have a wiring diagram, get one. Also, I would recommend going to the dealership and getting the factory connectors and hooking them up that way. No need to cut anything else in the harness that way.

And LED's don't cause any problems other than your dash light flashes a little faster.
