RE: SG Rear fascia on a rk custom...help...
The part numbers I gave you are the ones to use for plugging your LED wiring into the upper left hand socket (which should be empty since you don't have a fender tip light) behind your tail light. This is a three wire receptacle--looking at it from the rear of your bike, from left to right the connections are: ground, brake, and run.
If you have a pencil light circuit tester, you can confirm this yourself. The left won't light, the center will only light if the brake is applied, and the right will carry power with or without the brake applied--with the ignition "on" of course.

Travis: The SG LED wiring uses an adhesive conduit, PN 70531-06,--the conduit adheres to the inside of the fender and carries the LED wiring up to where it joins the SG antenna cable. On your installation, you use the conduit, but bring the LED wires inside the tail light housing.
If you don't want to mess with the tail light plug or if your dealer doesn't have that connector and terminals, you could run the wiring up the left frame tube (under the chrome strut covers and tap the rear wiring harness under the seat. You will find a male/female connection (six wires): the brake light should be red/yellow and the run light should be blue; ground is black. If you are using the stock SG LED it will use the black ground and blue run light, or if you want the LED to operate only as a brake light, tap the red/yellow light. If you use this approach, you will need the same connector that is used for TP lighting that is found on EGs to connect to the SG LED wire socket. Consult your dealer's parts book for the TP connector and terminals that go in it.

Travis: Since I haven't hooked up the run/brake light before, I believe the following is correct since what you are installing is a replacement for the SG run light only LED, which, on an SG, is plugged into the TP harness which you don't have on your bike. However, knowing what the TP wiring does permits a pretty good conclusion as to the wire assignments in your LED plug.
The plug on your connector probably has numbered chambers with the wires assigned as follows: chamber 1--white; chamber 2--red; and, chamber 3--black. The connection of this wiring to the KIng TP harness means that "white"is the running light; "red" is the brake light; and "black" is ground since those are the electrical functions performed with the TP wiring.
The connector at your fender will have a "blue" wire which is the running light wire (unlike your LED connector which doesn't apparently have a "blue" wire judging by the pic you posted); a "red w/ yellow" stripe wire which is the brake light; and, a "black" wire which is ground.
As for which connector to splice on your rear fender, I don't have an opinion.
