About the wires. I was thinking I would cut the 4 wires. Hook up the red and yellow from the light to the black and white from the bike and leave the 2 yellows hanging in the wind.

Anybody have any other ideas???

maybe just see which wires are needed to run the light properly then cut the other two short and cap, tuck, and hide them out of sight.

??

and will a 9" long light even fit on the night train? I dont want it to stick out a foot off the mounting block u know..

It will stick out far when you are add the adapter and are done. Not a foot but 10 inches.

I have the same set up on my 03 train. Very strait forward swap out really. Have no fears.
