Default Wiring sidemount plate bracket /w Ford light

Who makes the best setup and how exactly does it all wire together? Do I just slide the contacts into the connector under the seat, or what? I'm not very experienced with electrical work so I want to make this as painless as possible. I have an '06 883R.

I really like the DK Customs setup, but then again, I just like DK Customs. Great products, nice people, excewllent customer service, fast shipping,

I haven't used the Model A tail light, but I have the tag relocation part of it. Their kit is modular, so the light just bolts on.

Wiring is a different story. I'm not aware of anyone selling these types of kits with plugs already installed. I always wondered why. It's always nice to unplug the old and plug in the new.

The bad news is, you will have to cut and splice some wires; the good news is, it's really easy if you get some
Posilock connectors Posilock connectors
and a $10 wire stripper.

Thanks, SLV. Now I just need to figure out what wires are what. I know the violet ones are turn signal wires.
