Default Rocker Front Turn Signal wiring

I do not have a wiring diagram ....should be getting my manual soon. Decided to relocate my front turn signals to my forks...no problems putting the Kuryakyn fork clamps on etc... no problem wiring the right side (purple, blue and black wires) this is where the question mark happened - went to the left side and cutt open the wiring harness tube on the neck and did not find a purple, blue and black wire to splice into. Picture below will give a graphical understanding of what Im talking about....if anyone knows what color wires or where I splice these into please let me know...thanks

I wonder if I can daisy chain it across, behind the headlight?

I dont think so remember that each turn signal light is controlled by a different switch..If they were just running light then yes you could do that.

Yeah, makes sense however, how is that the three wires are the only thing attached to the blinker? No control wire / button. Hmm....Im not saying your incorrect just trying to gain an understanding of it.

? I ran wire from the control switchs to each light from both sides... so you should have three wires on each side coming from the control switch up on the handle bars down to the lights how and why you spliced from the neck is beyond me?? But im no expert Im just telling you from experience...

all 6 wires, (3 from each light) go into 1 wiring block which plugs in on the right side of the tank. you shouldn't have to splice anywhere

good luck

Thanks for the info. I've thinking of moving my front signals too.

Yes. I talked to a "real" mechanic instead of my "common sense" approach and your right. Under the tank their lays a plug and that would probably be the best approach although, I did splice into the switches as Joe suggested and they work fine. Im still wondering about the neck thing....just alot cleaner going that route. Oh yeah...get a bunch of extra 15 amp fuses ...I went through like 8 of 'em
