Angry Smart Siren Install Help!
I recently purchased a 2008 Sportster XL1200 Custom

It came with the factory alarm system

I purchased the SMART SIREN option from eBay

I have ripped almost everything apart to try and find the correct triangular type connector in the wiring harness and under the seat to connect the smart siren to.

Can't find it anywhere. I tried a couple of HD dealers to help me find the wire but they are scratching their heads OR they want me to pay them money just to point out the wire.

Can anyone out there please help with this.

Thanks so much,

Josell

As you look at the battery, it is just to the front of the bike tywraped to the harness, it has a rubber cap on it.
