pictures are forth coming.

they do have a connector. it would just have to be a big hole for them to fit through. or you would have to 'disassemble' the connector if you had to take the nacelle off (or cut the wires). i don't imagine the dealer would do that, i think they would cut the wires. i don't like having my wires cut if i can avoid it.

i installed the aux. lights and no connector on the wires with the lights....just one wire per light and no connector on the end. i do see your point about a stealer just cutting them.

here's some pictures of my '07 RK Custom

here's some pictures of the wire routing for the aux lights. is this how you all are routing them. what i'd like to do is right where the wire comes out in the aux-wire-1 picture drill a hole for a rubber grommet just large enough for the single wire to enter through just to keep it clean.

i'm also working on new bars that will allow me to route the electrical harness internally.

like i mentioned, i don't have the aux light set, but i did do the turn signal relocation. they had me route the wire around the back side of the nacelle and into the headlight area instead of up and under the riser cover.

i can get you a pic later to show you what i mean.

Thanks for the welcome and advice. Skratch, I look forward to seeing the pictures of how you routed these wires.
