handlebar wiring

Hi

There are tons of threads on installing apes but the best one I found that helps explain wiring is from 2009 and all the Pic/diagrams wont load

I have a 2008 Road King Classic and will be installing 16" apes

got all the parts started dismantling and realized that the color coding of my Guerilla wiring extension kit that was supposed to match my stock wire colors does not.

Aside from trying to find a Service manual before tomorrow morning I am hoping that someone can refer me to a thread or link that shows what wires control what.

any help appreciated

Thanks

I ran into the exact same thing when I put apes on my scoot. Some of my extensions didn't match either. First things first. As you start removing the electrical plugs off the existing wiring, start writing everything down. Which numbers in the plugs are which color wires and on which side of the bars. Make your list detailed and double check it. As you start installing the extensions, match the ones that match and make notes that they are the same. That will leave you with the non-matching ones. Make notes and highlight them. For example: Stock - green with black strip - extension wire - NOW purple w/NO stripe. Double check your list when you are reinstalling the plugs and also when you mount the bars and plug the plugs back into the matching sockets, double check that wiring and your list. Paying attention to those details will help you in the end.

I dont have my apes on anymore, but I kept my wiring extensions installed just in case I want to run something else in the future and I have my handwritten list in my
"Harley" file so I know exactly where all my wiring is going.

Good luck!!
