Please help!!! 2014 Front Turn Signal Relocation problems

Hope there is help out there. I just purchased a 2014 Fatboy, love the bike, except for the turn signals on the bars. I have checked the threads and haven't found the info needed. Seems the turn signals are hot glued into the handle bar control switches. The lights have 3 wires coming out of them. I can't pull the wiring through the bars. Question do I cut the 3 wires and then tie into the harness on the right side? I haven't seen any 2014 instructions on the web for this. Please help, I'm lost and want it to look right, Thanks

I dont know if there were changes in 2014. I have done a 2013 and the signals were not glued, they screwed into a 5/16" 24 pitch pivoting stud on the mirror/signal bracket. I cut the wires between the tank and the tree and was able to pull them through the bars by loosening the controls. I then attached signals to the forks with 5/16" 24 pitch rod and re- routed the wires, soldered and shrikwrapped. The only place locally to find the rod was Fastnall.

Great set of instructions! Not sure I ever said thanks for posting it! But start to finish about an hour... Only thing I did differently (and I think Misbhaven says it in his instructions) was just cut the wires at the base of the controls then used a set of needle-nose to pull what was left into the housing. The wires that are left are dead so no need to cap them and I actually just left them in the bars.

Good luck with your project.... Post the results!
