Default VSS signal

Hello all, I have an accessory (strobe wise) that needs the VSS signal. I think I have found the sensor (3 wires on the top of the transmission, but not where I can tie into the signal. Bought the service manual for the bike, but no help there.

I have a 2013 Harley 1200 Custom, 110 Limited. Anyone have a clue where to pick up this wire?

Thanks in advance!

Rob

According to the part finder, the same VSS has been used since 2005 - #74402-05B.


Now looking at the 2008 Sportster Electrical Diagnostic Manual, the 3 wires are as follows:


A - BK/R - 5 Volt Sensor Power (terminal 14 ECM)
B - BK/BE - Vehicle Speed Sensor Input (terminal 33 ECM)
C - BK - Ground
