That’s not something from the factory. HD would notvhsvevthatborngth of wire unshiekded, and wouldn’t just tie wrap unshielded wires to the frame.. You’ll need to trace it down.

oh yeah…welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the Forum.
Like Dan said trace it back to the undamaged end. At a minimum check for voltage, then perhaps clip and insulate them before you let the smoke out of something you can't afford.

Spread the wire out and you\ll have the general area where the wire broke.
Splice a piece in use solder and heat shrink and your done.

In case you come back...............

Here are the installation instructions...I15-021.06.indd (dynojet.com)

If you can find where they are coming from the Power Commander, it might give some clue to where it went.

Does it have the AutoTune?

Sorry about that. It comes from the power commander and it's an auto tune one. I can't figure out what they go to though. It runs, I'm wondering if they aren't like o2 sensor wires or something but I can't figure it out. Purple and yellow wires.
