Accessory Light Bar/ TS wiring
I'm trying to put my lights back together and put new turn signals on it. I'm looking at a wiring harness that's numbered 1-6 with black, purple, blue, blue, purple, black in their respective positions (blue and black may be reversed, I can't remember) Can anyone tell me, short of turning the bike on and using the multimeter, which set of wires is left and which is right?? I know 1-3 is a set and 4-6 is a set but I'm not sure which side is which.
Also, does anyone have tips on the easiest way to get the aux lamps and turns pointed the correct direction when tightening the 9/16 nut down? I'm guessing right now I'll put it on the bike and hook them up and get them pointed where I want them to go and then snug the nut down, but they are a major PITA to keep the lamp bucket and turn signal mount straight through the entire process.
Thanks in advance

BM, my '04 HD Touring Model Service Manual wiring diagram for Road Kings shows the front turn signals as 1-3 being the right; and 4-6 being the left. However, the wire color for the right is 1-BK, 2-BN (brown), and 3-BE (blue); and the left is 4-BE, 5-V (violet), and 6-BK.
You're a far more knowledgeable owner than me, 'cause I don't do anything without checking the SM (wiring diagrams, torque values, etc.) which is why mine is worn out like a Playboy magazine at a boys camp.
Good luck with your project.

Yeah, that's the problem I've run into. The manual I have is for 08's (because I got it for free) and my 99 apparently has identical wiring running through it. I looked 3 times to make sure I was seeing what I thought I saw (identical colored wiring running to each side) and I definitely am. I was trying to avoid going into the 100+ degree shop to mess with it this afternoon, but I'll just throw on the harness and get out the trusty 'ole multimeter and hook it up. The SM has been very useful in my deconstruction and reconstruction of my bike over the past six months.
