i had that lay down with the signals attached. only draw back is the plug won't fit through the hole, so the wires have to be cut and put back together. had it on my superglide and it works and looks great. when i get home i'll post a picture for you.

Last night I was very happy I made the decision to add cruise to my bike. I was out a bit later than I expected and it got a bit colder than I expected. I went ahead and hit the cruise for a few miles and curled myself up to stay warm and just steered by shifting my weight.

No, electronic cruise control. Like this... http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...09-41000369--1

I added it when I changed my bars and it works flawlessly. One of the big advantages of throttle by wire.

cool that you have that much faith in your front wheel/roads. to many bumps here to let go of the bars, not to mention the A-holes driving cars and deer coming out of the woods. i live in farm country

Easier and quicker to take the wires out of the connectors, thread the wires, put them back into the connectors. After you have done it a few times, you could do it blind folded.

There are quite a few videos on youtube on how to do it. I am not partial on cutting and connecting. Makes too many places for things to go south. Even with an electronics degree, I still prefer not to cut wires.

Check this thread out, it helped me learn how to do it. There are others, but this is a good one.

Pulled the cover off, rolled it out of the corner, gave it a hug and fired it up!

After it was all warm and happy, I changed the headlight from stock to a Truck-lite LED.
