Pretty sure its done for legal reasons. Some states don't allow passing lamps and highbeams to be run at the same time so HD rather thanoffer an option turnsthe option off for everyone.

 

The shop manual has full schematics in the back. Yeah - ah actually traced the entire circuit ta be sure....

 

Thanks for the post. Ya know, I think I may do this. I have to take the brains out of the RKC again, Harley is warranting the new touring bars I just put on...had some cosmetic blemishes I didn't see in the plastic when I picked them up at the dealer. This will go good with the aux switch housing on the LH grip I just installed also.

 

I have found that your basic crack torch type lighter, which an be purchased at just about any convenience store, works great in lieu of a soldering iron...

 

True. Ah've also found them crack torches ta be EXCELLENT at startin' other stuff on fire, an' meltin' plastic when ya fergit ta watch the flame.[:@]

 

Good morning

I am confused, yea that is normal. Do you have to remove the faring to peform the wiring conversion or the ACC switch?

 

Yes, the fairing will need to be removed as that is the easiest/only way to get to the plug in connector to unplug the switch dash from the fairing wiring harness. ALso the switch dash and ignition switch will need removal.

 

NO - you do NOT have to remove the fairing to perform this mod. You'll pull the ignition and dash - but that's it. The plug module is accessible as you pull the dash free.

 

sorry about that TR. I have pulled my fairing off frequently in the past couple months, that i dont even consider there are other ways. I did say EASIEST...LOL. Well, might save me a few minutes next time. Thanks.

 

C'mon JB - ya KNOW you wuz figgerin' ta have him do it jest fer practice...<G> Dunno - because on mine, as ah started ta move the dash the plug came right into position fer easy access w/o havin' ta remove the front fairing - even though it was already off. At that point, most everything wuz off the bike...
