My harness extension kit did not apply to my turn signal wiring. It doesn't look like I can make the turn signal wiring fit back to the wiring harness connectors after routing everything through the handlebars, without doing a whole relocation to the trees. Can I just plug each turn signal wire back into it's 3-pin connector and leave them disconnected from the main harness like that until I figure out what to do? Or, should I connect the accessory-side connector back to the harness and just wrap up the exposed wires for later? Will that mess with my electrical?

This whole install is quite an undertaking!!!!

Thanks!

Stay at it Whiff you'll get it done. For the record, I lost my front turn signals. You have a baby to raise so you might want to keep yours

 

For once the stealer pulled through. I can leave them disconnected for now. It'll just throw a code and my rears will blink faster.

Where's the pix????

I assume you got the job done

 

Awww man, I was planning on doing the same thing. But I was hoping that the stock wires would make it all the way through. Are you using the stock Apes or did you go bigger

 

Whiff, how's the project coming?

 

I'm not done, believe it or not. I'm 20 hours in, had some parts problems, some newbie problems and have made about four runs to Pep Boys for little sh*t tools I didn't have and am now waiting on a replacement clutch release cover since I cross threaded my original one. I was 1/2 hour away from finishing when that happened. 7-10 day wait on that part. For now, the bike sits in the garage.

I'm going to take this down time to go back and inspect everything, make everything as perfect as possible with the hopes that it all works out in the end. I can say that all my wiring held up at least. That's a plus, I guess. [&:]

To answer a couple of questions, I used an 8in no-solder extension on my wiring harness. It did not include the turn signal extension, however, I made it work somehow. Also, I'm going 2 inches over stock with these 12.5 chubbies. This is the most difficult thing I've ever tried on a vehicle. I just hope it works when I finish it. If not, I'm trailering the S.O.B. to the dealer.

I am not sure if anyone has suggested it or not but I put on the front turn signal relocation kit from the stealer. It mounts them to the triple tree bracket and personally they look so much better and they do not need to go in the bars. Just a thought. Hope maybe this helps some.
If you need the part number i think I still have the box. Cost was about 40.00 or so.

 

I'm one of the few that actually digs the signals on the bars. [8D]

Im with you on that one Whiff, i relocated to the forks and hate it, it makes the bike look like its got horns going on. I am not a big fan of the handle bar placement but in my opinion its is a much better choice over the forks, i am now waiting for the bank account to grow so i can get those cool kuryakn signal mirrors. Hope all goes well with the bars, i am going to be doing mine as soon as they arrive, hopefully thats soooon.
