Light Bar Assembly
NOTE
See Figure 3. When assembling the light bar (1) to the spacer (2) and relocation mount (3), the correct orientation is with the wire-exit holes (B) angled toward the downward bend as shown in View (D), NOT away from it.
1. Remove the protective caps from the two threaded studs (A) on the light bar assembly.
2. Install the spacer and angled relocation mount onto the studs as shown
3. Install washers (4) and acorn nuts (5) onto the studs, and tighten to 2.3–2.8 N·m (20–25 in-lbs).
Turn Signal Lamp Installation to Light Bar
NOTE
Be sure the recess cover, lockwasher and jam nut have been installed in the exact orientation and sequence shown before feeding the wiring through the light bar assembly.
  1. See Figure 3. Loosely install a chrome jam nut (9) onto one of the threaded studs on the ends of the light bar. Place a lockwasher (8) onto the stud, against the jam nut. Place a chrome recess cover (7), in the orientation shown, onto the stud.
    2. NOTE
    If necessary, apply a light coat of liquid soap, window cleaner or all-purpose lubricant to the wire ends. Use a fish tape or mechanics' wire if needed to guide the wires through the bar.
  2. Feed the unterminated end of one turn signal wire into the threaded stud. Guide the wire into the tube, and push the wire toward the closest hole (B). Pull the end of the wire out of the hole.
  3. Repeat Step 2 for the remaining wire.
  4. Continue pulling and pushing the wires until the turn signal lamp is approximately 100 mm (2 in) from the end of the light bar.
  5. Pre-wind the wires by rotating the still unattached turn signal to the left (counter-clockwise) approximately two to three full turns. With the signal wires slightly twisted, pull the remaining wire through the bar until the lamp is touching the threaded stud at the light bar end.
  6. Screw the lamp housing onto the stud.
    1. Be careful that the wires are not twisted or damaged as the light bar and lamp are assembled.
    2. Align the recess cover over the holes and recess in the lamp housing. The lockwasher will fit inside the hole in the recess cover.
    3. Align the lamp housing so that the lens will be aimed rearward and parallel to the ground when the light bar is installed on the vehicle.
    4. While holding the housing in position, hand tighten the jam nut against the lockwasher.
  7. Carefully pull the individual wires at the front opening of the light bar weldment to remove excess wire from inside the tube.
  8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for the remaining turn signal lamp.
  9. Get the protective tubing (16) from the kit, and cut into two equal-length pieces.
    10. NOTE
    If necessary, apply a light coat of liquid soap, window cleaner or all-purpose lubricant to the inside and outside of the protective tubing.
  10. Slide a piece of the protective tubing over one set of lamp wires and into the opening in the light bar. Continue sliding the tubing over the wires until it reaches the threaded stud.
  11. Mark the turn signal wire bundle either "left" or "right" as appropriate.
  12. Repeat steps 9 through 11 for the remaining turn signal lamp.
Drill Wire Hole in Fender
  1. Remove the license plate from the vehicle (if installed). Retain the plate and attaching hardware.
  2. Remove the two #10-32 screws and washers holding the license plate bracket to the tail lamp base. Discard the screws but retain the washers and license plate bracket.
    3. NOTE
    Cover the tail lamp and chrome base with protective material to prevent scratching of the finish.
  3. See Figure 2. Drill a hole for the turn signal wires in the rear fender as follows:
    1. Place a piece of masking tape on the rear fender in the area above and to the left of the tail lamp base as shown.
    2. Measure up approximately 13 mm (½ in) from the tail lamp section of the base and mark a line (1) on the tape. Mark a second line (2) approximately 13 mm (½ in) to the left of the license plate section of the tail lamp base. Where the lines cross, mark the hole position with a center punch.
    3. Place a wooden block or similar protection between the rear tire and the underside of the fender at the drilling location. Make sure the tail lamp wire harness is below and clear of the hole location. Drill a 1/8 in (3 mm) pilot hole through the tape and fender, followed by a 7/16 in (11 mm) diameter hole (3).
    4. Remove the wooden block, and the tape. Deburr the hole edges, and clean the fender of tape and drilling residue.
    5. Protect the edges of the drilled hole with touch-up paint or clear nail polish to protect the exposed metal from corrosion.
    6. Insert the grommet from the kit into the new hole in the fender.

Light Bar Installation to Vehicle
NOTE
Cover the rear fender with an H-D Service Cover or clean shop towel to prevent scratching the finish.
1. See Figure 3. Bring the light bar assembly to the tail lamp area, with the relocation mount (3) oriented toward the rear and down as shown in View (D).
NOTE
  • If necessary, apply a light coat of liquid soap, window cleaner or all-purpose lubricant to the grommet hole and protective tubing.
  • Make sure the bundles retain their "left" or "right" identification after passing through the grommet.
2. Feed the two turn signal wire bundles through the new grommet (10) in the fender.
3. With the wires pulled nearly all the way through the grommet, align the light bar assembly bracket to the two threaded holes in the tail lamp base. Align the license plate bracket removed earlier to the holes, and loosely install with the new screws (6) from the kit and the original washers (E).
4. Tuck the right-side turn signal wire bundle into the space between the light bar mount, acorn nuts and the top of the tail lamp base.
5. With the vehicle upright, level the light bar assembly parallel to the ground, and tighten the screws to 2.3–2.8 N·m (20–25 in-lbs).
6. Align the turn signal housings so that the lenses are aimed straight rearward for proper visibility. While holding the turn signal housings in position, tighten the hex nuts and lock washers against the housings (not the recess covers) to 11–14 N·m (96–120 in-lbs).
Turn Signal Wiring Connection to Vehicle
  1. Route the turn signal wire bundles following the path of the tail lamp wiring through the left side channels, toward the front of the fender and out through the wire pass-through hole in the fender, to the area under the seat.
  2. Route the turn signal wires and protective tubing over to the two-way turn signal connectors [18] and [19] on the vehicle harness. Allow an extra 50–100 mm (2–4 in) to easily make the connections, and cut the unterminated wires and tubing.
  3. See Figure 3. Get four socket terminals (15) from the kit, and the two-way socket housings removed from the original wires.
  4. Follow the instructions in the service manual to crimp the terminals onto the turn signal wires. Refer to the notes made during the removal steps, and insert the turn signal socket terminals into the correct cavities of the socket housings.
  5. Connect the socket housings to the pin housings [18] and [19] on the vehicle harness. Tuck the connectors and wiring into the area under the seat, in front of the rear fender.
