Alright, I'm working through this project a little bit at a time. Run/brake/turn module and new tails ordered, and rear fender is all smoothed out and primed (just came from the painter's).
I understand how it all fits back together, but I'm not sure about the best way to actually wire it up. What I was *hoping* I could do, was get the male side of the plugs that the turn signals plug into (which is currently a part of the tail light assembly) and connect those to the soon-to-be-butchered wire harness that runs to the plug under the seat. The guy at the parts counter said that'd be great if he could get those for me, but sorry.
I don't mind just cutting and splicing the rear turn signal wires, but if I ever take my rear fender off again, I'll be clipping and re-soldering again. Not to mention I want the wires up nice'n tight and out of the way of the rear tire. Anybody coming up with a slicker way of doing this?

I recall it was a challenge getting through to the parts guy that we needed the other side of the two-pole plug because the MoCo doesn't have anything on an 08 Dyna that needs it. So it's not in the parts manual for our machines. I had to really explain what we were doing and got lucky when someone knew where to look.
