Electrical Overload

NOTICE

It is possible to overload the vehicle's charging system by adding too many electrical accessories. If the combined electrical accessories operating at any one time consume more electrical current than the vehicle's charging system can produce, the electrical consumption can discharge the battery and cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system. (00211d)

WARNING

When installing any electrical accessory, be certain not to exceed the maximum amperage rating of the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit being modified. Exceeding the maximum amperage can lead to electrical failures, which could result in death or serious injury. (00310a)

This kit requires up to 200 Milliampere (mA) more current from the electrical system.

PREPARE

WARNING

To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative (-) cable first) before proceeding. (00307a)

1.	Remove main fuse. See service manual.
2.	Remove saddlebags. See service manual.

Saddlebag Preparation

NOTE

Adhesion of parts depends on surface cleanliness. Proper bond may not occur if adhesive tape is applied to a surface more than once.
Adhesive tape requires 24 hours to gain full bonding strength. Apply at 15 °C (59 °F) or higher.
Avoid excessive strain on wires when securing.
Test fit lamps per installation procedure prior to removing adhesive liner.

INSTALL

Disconnect Original Equipment (OE) harness connector on back of rear running/turn/stop lamp.

a. Install Lighting Harness Jumper (Part No. 69203270) inline with stock turn lamp harness.

b. Secure to the fender support ensuring no contact with moving parts or exhaust.

See Figure 2. Drill lower saddlebag harness pass-through.

b. See Figure 3. Use grommet (7) from kit as a drill location guide.

c. Place grommet against saddlebag surface near the radius at side and bottom of saddlebag.

d. Keep entire grommet on flat section of saddlebag.

e. Mark saddlebag at center of hole in grommet.
