Default Pics please

I have an 05 springer. I can't read wire schematics. I need a pic of the wires in front of the rear wheel behind the shroud for clarification of connections. Thanks for a y help.

This is from the 2005 Softail Service manual. Unless someone has the bike apart I doubt that they will remove everything to get a picture.

A picture will not tell you what the wires are for/where they go...

The wiring diagram will illustrate exactly what they are for and where they to.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

"I can't read wire schematics." Sure you can, you just gotta believe!

You can get wiring diagrams from H-D service portal, I think most of them are in color now to match wires. The B/W printed one in my 1991 FSM is a nightmare to follow, but I found a color coded one over on XLForum.net years ago and saved it. I assume it's a H-D production and your bike is much newer than mine. The color coded ones are a snap to read, they are out there if you look.

I hesitated to post a pic of my 2003 Softail, not knowing if there were any changes between '03 & '05.

The Service Manual, Figure 8-26, looks just like my '03.

So here is my 'o3, with a caveat... Mine is a CA bike. So I have the gas tank vent canister at the bottom, and I have the optional Security Siren just above the canister and right below the TSSM.

As an Avionics Tech for 44 years, I can tell you that it is easier than you think. You just need to have a little confidence in yourself.
I know these guys will help you out, just take a breath and let them know what you are looking for.
Have a Blessed day.
