Directionals on tour pak
Hey everybody, I have searched countless threads and still cant find what I'm looking for. I am trying to make my ultra tour pak have directionals. I have a 2012 SG. I have all custom dynamics led's in the pak. I contacted CD and they told me I cant use the magic tour pak converter, and they also told me to take the bike to someone to wire it for me. I'm positive I can do it but not sure what I need to do? Thanks

the turn signals on the bike use violet ( left) and brown ( right) wires...( blue is run, red/yel is brake, black is ground).
so extend these turn signal wires to your tour pak...you can find them under the seat, just follow the wiring harness for the rear lights.
I don;t know how the lights are in your tourpak, but if you were able to install leds, then you shouldn;t have much trouble.
I'd guess that if the tourpak lights are single filament type ( rather than dual when stock) you could use a HD run turn stop module to give you turn signal and run light function.
should be a fun project.

I have searched threads about this for hours going back to 2010. There is a wealth of information on the topic but it just seems to be more involved than it should so I am confused. My issue is I installed the newer type led tail light bar and I do not have or ever plan on using the side marker lights as I have the chrome trim pieces. I have a 2012 FLHRCI with abs so is there a harness out there that I can just buy and basically plug and play or do I need to make one. The bike never had tail lights in the tour pak before. Do I just buy the HD module harness 69911-11 then wire to the plug somewhere by the battery. I have the service manual with diagrams. I need help going from the violet,blk,brn, blue on the lights to the bike harness so it has run,brake and turn signals. I appreciate any helpful insight on this matter.

Here is a web page with a diagram for a circuit using only 3 relays for stop/turn/running lights. I used this circuit on my Mutazu tour pack. No expensive converters. Just tap into the existing stop/turn and running light wires and run 'em through the relay circuit to your new lamps. Easy peezy.

The most important thing that I learned was to fuse the dickens out of it when you wire sumpin' up. (I was a police dispatcher, but I helped install the electronics in the police cars on my days off. Radios, light bars, computers, etc.) Put the fuse as close to the 12v source as possible otherwise you run the risk of creating a toaster element under the tank of your motorcycle.
I made a small harness with relays for my auxiliary lights on my EG. I rigged it up so they shut off when the starter motor is engaged. The circuit also runs current directly from the battery to the lamps instead of going though all that anemic factory wiring. I get full voltage to the lamps that way. They are noticeably brighter now.
I toyed with doing the same thing with the headlamp, but I opted to leave it alone. As robust as my wiring is and as careful as I am to do it properly, there is always that chance that it will fail. I sure as heck don't want to be riding in the middle of the night and have the headlight go out. I had that happen to me on a custom bike I built years ago. Riding down a dark 2-lane county blacktop road in the middle of the night when all of a sudden everything went black. The bike had no aux lights, so it was pitch black! (Talk about the pucker-factor!) Pushed the bike the last half mile home.

I just did this on my Road Glide Custom. You need to find the 5 wires that control tail, brake, left turn, right turn, and ground.
Here's the instructions http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US...ts/-J05090.pdf
This should be the wires you need to find. In my case the run brake are reversed for a FLTRX
Brown is right turn
orange and white is brake
tail is blue or sometimes yellow
left turn is violet
black is ground
This is what it looks like when all wired up.
