Default Side mount plate wire routing

I have a 2011 Blackline that I put the Road 6 Customs side plate mount on and am running th LED bolts. Just need to know how to route the wires and how to hook them up.
Thanks, Brian

Get some wire heat shrink tubing and route the wires up your swing arm and into the back of the battery box where your rear wiring harness connects and splice into a constant wire for rear lights. On my 2008 softtail I used the blue wire for my constant but not sure if it is same color on the blackline. I used a couple black zip ties to hold it in place and done deal. be sure to waterproof your splices so that the connection stays good. The shrink tubing works great and makes it neat and factory looking.
