Default Wiring for Radar Detector

I have a 2026 Road Glide Limited that I want to install a radar detector on. What do I need to do to connect the radar detector’s power cord to this accessory connector under the seat?

Use the position lamp wire lamp the headlight. It doesn't go anywhere on the US models. Lop the socket off and use a Can bus connector.

I’ll post after the install.

Well, from the looks of that pigtail you'll have to run wires from the middle/back of the bike up to the headlight area. It means pulling the tank and adding a wire along side if others.

You could try and find a plug for the connector that is mounted on the end of the position light. I suspect it's going to be a bulb. Maybe someone makes one for LED lights that could be fit there?

I added a GPS to the my RK. The wires were there and I had factory style CAN bus connectors. I simply used them..
