Am relocating both front and rear on my 08 sporty. Wondering where the front turn signal wires terminate. Since I can't feed the housing thru the handlebar/speedo brackets, wondering about unclipping and reconnecting when moved. No desire to cut the wires. Thanks
I would have thought the back was quite straight forward as the wires only needed de-pinning and routing through the bracket. That is how my bike looks.
I imagine in fact you have an excess of wire now?
The PCB on the backplate on my own tail light got wet and burnt out so I had to change it and the backplate due to the backplate having a crack in it. At the same time the 6 place connector that feeds power to the lights melted so I had to change that and a couple of pins.
I do have a bit of excess. Tried to zip tie it out of the was as much as possible. I diddepin the wires, but they would not feed well thru the hollow bar. Its not an HD product, so of course its tougher than theirs would be, plus no instructions. I had to drill out the inside of the threaded part of the tube because the two wires would not go thru very easily. HD stuff costs more for a reason. I ended up cutting and splicing the wires anyway because the two wires with the molex connectors on them would not go thru at the same time even tho I had removed the plastic connector box.
My bike has a bolt on windshield that gets in the way of moving the front signal. Will try again tomorrow with a bit more patience. I was tired tonite. I want to get my saddlebags installed first.
The 2 place connectors don't go through the hole in the fender to remove them so they do need to de-pinned. It's how I stripped down the back end on the trike. I have crimping tools and bought the pins and housings to redo any wiring as I went.
