Mine is 2005 sportster. I am bobbing my 2005 883, and removed fender. Trying to install turn signal, for brake as well.
Now, the current wire on bike has 6 wires. On wire diagram, it seems there is only one ground wire, that gets distributed into 3 lights through a circuit board.
Question is, since I removed circuit board, how can I distribute the single ground to both turn signal? Can I just tap into it, or is there a part that separates it?
Use jumper wires from your battery (or any available 12v dc source) to test your theory without running it through the computer. Key off obviously. You can tie your grounds together, after all they should all end up at battery negative.

I have an '08 Sportster, that came with a taillight and amber turn signals. In '08 the Nightster had the Run-Turn-Brake lights. I compared the wiring schematics and parts list from my bike to the Nightster and bought some new parts. My amber turn signals were a two wire (if i recall correctly) but I needed a three wire red turn/brake signals. I also had to buy a new piece to the taillight wiring to distribute the signal correctly, but it plugged right in. I'm not sure if '05 & '08 wiring is the same, but it might be a good place to start.
