Floor boards huh !!!!

By the way 24v. I'm gonna be hitting you up soon I reference to the fat Bob/daymaker headlight set up.

Finally pulled the trigger and got all the parts. Gonna need some clarifying on what wires to solder.

Anyhow, I like how you're teasing us lolol

You don't need to solder any wires if you have the wiring that is inside the fatbob headlight. You just cut the pins off the wires and crimp new ones on. Then slide them into the new connectors.

Oh I see.

The Daymakers didn't come with any wires or plugs. I thought they were supposed to come with at least wires to connect the Daymakers to the wiring in the headlight bucket.

My fatbob bucket should be here tomorrow. I'm hoping that when I acutally look at it what you are saying will make more sense.

I bought these connectors (see pic) along with the Daymakers thinking that these are what acutally will connect from the daymaker to the wiring in the fatbob bucket and then ultimately out to the bike's harness.

Anyway, I don't wanna hijack this thread. I'll hit you up when I get the bucket brotha.

That connector won't work. If you bought the Fatbob bucket new from Harley then you won't have the wires. You could either build your own harness, or buy the Fatbob one and switch the plugs.

I bought the fatbob bucket from someone here on the forum so it will come with all the internal guts. Only problem is the seller cut the wire coming from the bucket going to the bikes harness so I'll have to deal with that.

Would you mind pm me your email address bro? This way it'll be easier for me to send pictures if I have to. Opposed to sending one picture at a time through pms.

Me too, but I scrape the pedals I have now as well. At least it will be on the bottom.
