Some earlier Front Turn Signal Relocation Kits called for butt-splicing of the turn signal wires. This should not be necessary for this kit. Follow the steps below to connect the new turn signal wires into the turn signal connectors.
  1. Models with handlebar-mounted turn signals: Refer to the instructions that come with the Front Turn Signal Relocation Kit to: Models with fork-mounted turn signals:
    1. separate the turn signal connector halves under the fuel tank.
    2. Make note of the wire colors and positions in each cavity of the Multilock socket housing leading from the turn signals. Refer to the wiring diagram and the AMP MULTILOCK ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS section in the Service Manual. Remove the terminals from only the socket housing. DO NOT remove the terminals from the pin housing leading from the vehicle harness.

Feed the turn signal wires through the lamp supports removed earlier, and into the holes in the fender. Attach the turn signal lamps and supports to the vehicle with the fasteners removed earlier. Align the lamp housings so that the lenses will be aimed straight rearward for proper visibility. While holding each turn signal in position, tighten the fasteners to 10.8–13.6 N·m (96–120 in-lbs)
11. Route the turn signal wires to the tail/stop lamp, and feed the four turn signal wires out through the opening in the lower left of the tail/stop lamp base. At the wire ends, verify which wires come from the left or right turn signal.
12. Cut any excess length from the turn signal wires, leaving enough wire to easily affix the new terminals and insert the turn signal connectors into the tail lamp circuit board.
13. Obtain the four socket terminals (1) from the kit. Refer to AMP MULTILOCK ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS: CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS in the Service Manual to attach a terminal to the end of each wire.
NOTE
Be sure to keep the wire pair from each turn signal properly identified through the following steps.
On XL models, the white connector is used for the left-side turn signal.
If necessary, carefully strip a short length of the shrink conduit from the ends of the wire pairs for ease of assembly to the connectors. Take care not to cut the wire insulation.
14. For each turn signal, insert the violet wire into cavity 1 of the two-place turn signal connector. Insert the black wire into cavity 2 of the connector.
15. Insert the left-side and right-side two-place turn signal connectors into the correct cavities in the tail lamp circuit board.
16. Position the turn-signal wires so they will not be pinched during tail/ stop lamp installation. Install the tail/ stop lamp lens to the lamp base with the two screws removed earlier. Tighten to 2.3–2.7 N·m (20–24 in-lbs)
17. Insert the turn signal wires into the retention clips under the fender.
18. Proceed to Final Assembly.
Final Assembly
1. Verify that the Ignition/Light Key Switch is turned to the OFF position. Models WITH maxi-fuse: Refer to the Service Manual and follow the instructions given to re-install the maxi-fuse. Models WITHOUT maxi-fuse: Re-connect the negative (-) battery cable per the instructions in the Service Manual. Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly or corrosion retardant material to the battery terminal.
NOTE
Check for proper lamp operation before riding the motorcycle. Weak, intermittent, or non-operational lamps indicate a poor connection or a short in the wires.
If the rear turn signals operate opposite of switch function, remove the tail lamp lens assembly and disconnect and reverse the turn signal electrical connectors in the tail lamp assembly. Test the rear turn signals again for proper function.
WARNING
Be sure that all lights and switches operate properly before operating motorcycle. Low visibility of rider can result in death or serious injury. (00316a)
2. Turn the Ignition/ Light Key Switch to ON to power the lamps, but do not start the motorcycle. Make sure that both turn signals, the tail/stop lamp assembly and the license plate lamp function properly.
