There is an empty connector on the right side of your gas tank, tucked in. It is for the front fender lite and connected to power thru your ignition switch. Look at the wiring diagram. Your fender light should plug right in.

Thanks for the extra pics hbarleatherneck. I was trying to decide whether I was going to mount it with or without plugging in the electrical but, based on your 2nd & 3rd pics, it looks like I'll plug the wiring in as well. Notice how the 1st pic makes the light look weak and not match the headlight and auxiliary lights?

the first picture caught the flash and bounced off and magnified off the headlight and running lights.
it isnt super bright.

if you buy the springer light from the dealership, also buy the connector for the model year bike you have. but it will be the heritage. flstc connector.

then it will plug right in. i ran an piece of hose under the fender and epoxied it in place. i ran the wire through that to a hole i drilled in the fender right behind the left leg. it is fairly hidden. and i used a rubber grommet for the hole ( i also used some clear coat around the holes, so no peeling paint or rust).

Default Thanks from a newbie

I'm a new member and I'd just like to say thanks to all the posters on this thread for sharing your great ideas and photos; there is some real creativity and imagination on display here. Along with the thread from the poor soul looking for a "sissy boy" for his ride, this is the most entertaining thread I've seen.
