1. | Remove existing lamp housings. | |
2. | Pull conduit back and cut turn signal wires six inches back from lamp housings. | |
3. | See Figure 1. Thread standoffs with jam nuts into lamp housings. | |
4. | Assemble outside sections of fork clamps to standoffs with hex nuts and tighten. | |
5. | Mount lamp assemblies on fork under bottom triple clamp by connecting fork clamp halves with sockethead capscrews. Top of clamp should be no more than 1/2 inch from bottom of triple clamp. | |
6. | Because you are relocating the turn signal lamps, there will now be extra wire length. To shorten turn signal wires, perform the following: Making Butt Splices a. Carefully measure excess wire length. You must leave enough wire so that the turn signal wires do not bind at any point through the full range of fork travel. b. Pull back conduit from turn signal wires. c. At staggered locations, remove desired length of wire. d. Using butt splice connectors included in kit, splice turn signal wires back together following the instructions below. e. Strip a 3/8 in. (9.5mm) section of insulation from both ends of each wire to be spliced. f. See Figure 2. Insert each end into opposite ends of a butt splice connector (14). g. Match the color of the butt splice connector with the color of the crimp cavity of the crimping tool. Using a H-D 38125-8 crimping tool, crimp wires into the connector. h. See Figure 2. Using the UltraTorch UT-100 (H-D 39969), Robinair Heat Gun (H-D 25070) with Heatshrink Attachment (H-D 41183), or other suitable radiant heating device, heat the crimped splice to encapsulate the butt splice connection. Apply heat from the center of the crimp out to each end until the meltable sealant exudes out of both ends of the connector. NOTE

WARNING Be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions when using the UltraTorch UT-100 or any other radiant heating device. Failure to follow manufacturer's instructions can cause a fire, which could result in death or serious injury. (00335a) | ||
