I need a bit of help with finishing the first round of mods to my bike. I am eliminating the tail light and just running my turn signals on the swing arm and a side mount plate with a light. I'm using one of Harley's run/turn/brake modules and just have a few questions. Using the search function I have found that:
Black=Ground
Red/Yellow=Brake
Orange/white=International
Violet= Left turn
Blue=Running lights
Brown=Right turn
Someone please correct me if I am wrong there. But I should just need to run a ground to each turn signal along with the violet or brown, a ground to my plate light with the blue, correct? And then red/yellow and orange/white can both be unpinned?
Here's an image I created on my CAD system. It shows the tailight circuit board...but the input (6 pin) connector is all you care about for your plan. In my image the green is GND which is actually the black color wire.
You are correct, a GND wire to each of the turn signals
For the taillight...you'll need a third GND wire from the body of the taillight if there isn't one provided.

I won't have a tail light. My turn signals will serve as tail lights with the run/turn / brake module. I will have a plate light that just lights up the plate however. I'm assuming I want to run my running light wire to that and obviously a ground?

That's what I did on my 2007 NT with R/T/B module and everything works fine.
Orange can just be unpinned.
Try leaving the red/Yellow(brake) and Blue (tail) wires hanging to see what happens. If everything works, you can unpin the red/yellow and blue wires.
The Violet and Brown should be your brake lights anyway with the turn/stop module.
