Default Installing front signal bar

I trying to install the pro one turn signal bar on my buddies 93 softail, but there is only one wire coming from the bar, and two from the bike (one accessories for driving lights, and one for the actual blinkers). We cannot figure out how to wire these up so we have a blinking blinker. Thanks for any help. appreciate it.

You should have a left turn and a right turn wire on both the bike and the light bar.Are you trying to use it for driving light too?Seems like it would be too small for that.I had to run a seperate ground wire to the bar,it wouldn't ground itself.I don't think the triple trees provide a good grounding surface

NO, the original signals work as driving lights/blinkers, so there is an accessory power wire and a blinker power wire. When we just hook up the blinker power wire (everything is properly grounded) we get a solid lgiht when the blinker is turned on.

I had that bar on my WG. There is only one filament in the bulb for each side. So like mentioned above tie your turn signal wire into the light bar for each side and you may need to run a ground wire to the bottom tree somewhere. You won't get a good ground through the bearings on the triple tree. Tape up the accessory light wire or shrink wrap them up.
