1. | Disconnect the negative battery cable. | |||||||||||||||||
2. | On models in which the directional lights are mounted on the upper fork brackets, perform the following: On models in which the directional light is mounted to the mirror, perform the following: a. See Figure 1. Remove the fork tube pinch screw securing the right directional light assembly to the upper fork. Discard screw. b. Obtain a new pinch screw (part number 4351) from kit and install to upper fork bracket replacing screw removed in Step a. Tighten screw to 25-30 ft-lbs (33.9-40.7 Nm). c. Remove screw and lockwasher securing directional light to bracket. Discard screw, lockwasher and bracket. d. Repeat for the left side. e. Remove right directional light and discard all mounting hardware except internal toothed lockwasher. f. See Figure 2. Install acorn nut from kit to retain right mirror. If acorn nut "bottoms" without tightening, add the second spacer from kit in the location shown. g. Remove left directional light and discard hardware. Leave bracket which joined mirror and directional mount in place. Tighten mirror acorn nut, if necessary. NOTE On motorcycles with directional lights consisting of three wires, the third black wire is a ground wire. Check the style (either Standard or Bullet Style) of the directional lights and note how many wires are connected, then perform the Steps under one of the following applicable procedures.

19. | Slide the heat shrink tubing over the splice and using the UltraTorch UT-100 (H-D 39969), Robinair Heat Gun (HD 25070) with Heatshrink Attachment (H-D 41183), or radiant heating device, heat the heat shrink tubing to encapsulate the butt splice connection. Apply heat from the center of the crimp out to each end. | |
WARNING When routing wires and harnesses, ensure that they are clear of moving parts, heat sources and pinch points to avoid wire damage or a short circuit, which could cause loss of control resulting in death or serious injury. (00554b) | ||
20. | Position harness along fork tube and secure with cable straps. | |
21. | Test operation of directional lights and running lights. If operation is not correct, verify that the wire splices were made properly. | |
22. | Align entire assembly and tighten all mounting hardware. Replace lens on directional housing using Loctite 243 (Blue). |
1. | Follow instructions in applicable Service Manual and remove fuel tank. NOTE Before removing directional wires, carefully note wire routing. In particular, pay close attention to cable straps, which must be replaced. Also, when performing the next Step, before removing pin terminals from connector, carefully note terminal locations. | |||||||
2. | Locate front directional connector (pull from inside frame backbone) and separate connector halves. Cut cable straps around directional harness conduit. Refer to Appendix covering Amp Multilock Electrical Connectors in Service Manual and remove pin terminals from connector (from directionals) to free wiring harness. Leave conduit in place. | |||||||
3. | Unplug existing molded grommet from directional housing and carefully cut and remove grommet from wire harness. | |||||||
4. | See Figure 8. Thread new grommet (P/N 11443) from kit onto directional wire harness and move into position shown. Install grommet into directional housing. It may be helpful to apply water to ease installation. | Figure 8. Install Grommet From Kit | ||||||
5. | If passing lamp kit is already installed and wired to vehicle, cut the lead wire from the passing lamp kit at the handlebar clamp as close to the joining butt splice as possible. Cut off the butt splice as this will be replaced with new splice from kit. See Figure 3. Remove retaining nut from passing lamp and discard. | |||||||
6. | Remove directional lens from housing. | |||||||
7. | See Figure 9. Route passing lamp lead wire through new retaining nut and install new retaining nut (P/N 68323- 01) to passing lamp threads. Snug retaining nut into place. | |||||||
8. | Install jam nut to threads on retaining nut as shown. |
Figure 9. Install Retaining Nut and Jam Nut | ||||||
9. | Loosen directional inner housing with a small screwdriver and disassemble to allow access for wire routing. NOTE When performing the next Step, It will be necessary to use an open-end wrench to gain complete access to jam nut. | |||||||
10. | See Figure 10. Thread directional onto retaining nut until snug, then back off the minimum amount to allow forward alignment of lamp housings. Snug jam nut against directional housing to lock in place. NOTE The grommet included in this kit does not form a watertight seal. A path must be provided to allow any water to exit from the directional housing. To provide for water drainage, carefully follow Steps a and b. |

11. | See Figure 11. Route passing lamp lead wire through directional housing grommet. a. Refer to Figure 12. Locate the 3 slots that align the o-ring gasket to the directional housing. Cut a 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) (approximate) section out of the O-ring at the bottom, center slot, position. b. See Figure 13. Install the O-ring and inner housing into the directional housing with the cutout oriented at the bottom as shown. c. See Figure 14.

12. | Route the directional wires back to connector (at frame backbone) and secure with tie straps as needed. NOTE In some cases, after routing, the wires may be too short to reach the connector. If this is the case, perform Steps 11 through 24. If wires are of adequate length, proceed to Step 24. | |||||||
13. | Cut the directional light wires (at the terminal ends) to the following lengths: a. Blue Wire-1-1/4 in. (31.7 mm) from terminal. b. Violet Wire-2-1/4 in. (57.1mm) from terminal. c. Black Wire-3-1/4 in. (82.5 mm) from terminal. NOTE The wires are cut at different lengths to stagger the butt connectors preventing a large bulge in the harness. | |||||||
14. | Strip 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) of insulation from the cut ends of the three wires. | |||||||
15. | Crimp butt-splice connectors from kit on the three short terminal ends of the wires. | |||||||
16. | Measure and cut three 6 inch lengths of blue, violet and black wire from kit that will enable wires to reach connector. | |||||||
17. | Strip 5/16 inch of insulation from one end of each wire. Connect the like colored wires and crimp onto butt-splice connectors installed in Step 13. | |||||||
18. | Slide shrink tubing from kit over crimped terminals. | |||||||
19. | Cut an appropriate length of 5/16 in. (7.9 mm). ID vinyl tubing supplied in kit. | |||||||
20. | Slide vinyl tubing onto three wires connected in step 15 and over existing conduit. | |||||||
21. | Cut the three spliced-on wires to lengths required for connection to the directional light. Make certain to leave enough slack to allow routing harness along fork tube. | |||||||
22. | Slide heat shrink tubes over the three wire ends. | |||||||
23. | Strip 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) of insulation from remaining wire ends and connect like colored wires at directional light with sealed butt connectors from kit. | |||||||
24. | Slide heat shrink tubing over connectors installed in Steps 15 and 21. Activate shrink tubing with UltraTorch UT-100, heat gun or hair dryer, noting the following: |
25. | Slide the heat shrink tubing (1) away from the splice and using the UltraTorch UT-100 (H-D 39969), Robinair Heat Gun (H-D 25070) with Heatshrink Attachment (H-D 41183), or radiant heating device, heat the crimped butt splice connector. Apply heat from the center of the crimp out to each end until the meltable sealant exudes out of both ends of the connector. Let the connector cool. | |
26. | Slide the heat shrink tubing over the splice and using the UltraTorch UT-100 (H-D 39969), Robinair Heat Gun (HD 25070) with Heatshrink Attachment (H-D 41183), or radiant heating device, heat the heat shrink tubing to encapsulate the butt splice connection.
