Hello Everybody,

I have a 2011 Ultra that I am trying to hardwire a GPS under the batwing. Everything I have researched tells me about two taped or capped wires, orange/white and black. I opened my batwing thinking it was going to be an easy install and found the attached pictures. Can anyone tell me where my two wires are at? I purchased this used a few years ago and believe some other things might be wired to those original two wires but am unsure how to id them.

Thank you

 

A gps takes very little power, so all you need do is find a wire that provides constant power, when the ignition is switched on. On two of my bikes, being International spec models, I have an extra front bulb in the headlight, so plugged into that. Check your front fender tip light, as a suggestion, the wire comes from inside the fairing, so should be easy to plug into.

 

thank you grbrown.

I really appreciate the help. Was brave last night and removed the black wire between the two orange/white and pulled apart another spliced black wire that is seen to the right exiting the photo. I assume the previous owner had something connected here since it is not like other models I have seen. Wired in the GPS and it works when the ignition is turned on.

One other oddity on this bike is, I was going to hook it up to what I assume was the accessories plug under the seat but when I did, the accessory switch on the dash did not control the GPS, only the on and off of the ignition......mystery for another day.

thank you again and ride safe

 

Well done! Ever onward....
