Regarding my posted reply above; in the words of Gilda Radner’s character, (Emily?) on Saturday Night Live; “Never mind”.

Hey Hard 10,

You are close, but that is not the right wire harness. It is the harness on the left side. Just thought I would post this so no one ventures into this cut too soon.

So whats the verdict here? Seems this simple wire swap has gone aray? Whats the correct thing to do for an 07 ultra?

It does seem that my first reply didn’t really add any value; classic assumption issues. Please allow me to try again.

HD-dude’s suggestion gets my vote for a couple of reasons; simple and effective.

The Orange/Red wire on terminal 4 of the accessory switch is the main fused P&A accessory circuit and is switched only by the ignition switch. Dude’s method gets the spotlamps off the headlamp circuit. This can be useful in case of an issue with the headlamp circuit /fuse.

It is my sense that this mod can be executed quickly and cleanly without removing the outer fairing. Removing the panel that houses the fairing switches should expose all of the wiring necessary to complete the mod.

BTW, this won’t help you much at all with your spotlamps, but my favorite Emily Litella  (Gilda Radner) Weekend Update bit was the “Endangered Feces” skit.

And now, our daughter Francine, will play the recorder! Hoist!

Don’t tell me Francine also has endangered feces; now that is a remarkable coincidence! Damn, here we are off topic again. Hoist, if you have a hand held spotlamp at home maybe you could shed some light on Francine’s….oh forget it. If we are quiet about this, maybe no one will notice.

Hey dj, how's it going? I thought you'd know it. She's another Gilda SNL character. I don't think one thread stays on topic anyway. Actually, I don't want spots all the time anyway. Geez, I better get out of this thread. It's just that I was promoted today and was feeling Evil! Hoist!

You can be pretty darn sure that any brain cells of mine that may have stored even a faint memory of Francine, have long since been recycled for something much less useful.

Congratulations on the promotion! Everyone can use one of those every now and again to keep their spirits up. The extra moolah won’t get in the way much either, I’m sure.

Not a work or $ promotion. Oops, better drop it. Hoist!

In the back of my mind I knew that something as far out of balance as a wiring thread off topic on feces couldn’t exist in a harmony with the rest of the universe; entirely my fault.

Wait, a moderator will move this thread to cat barf before long.

[skyglide]

Does seem strange to go from several different ideas to cut wires to playing the recorder to warranty promotions.

I’m not sure that this thing won’t morph back into something more appropriate like 32E three brush armature growling; although when you consider all of the action in Cat Vomit, armature growling might get more exposure there.

Looking back, Cat Vomit really marked the beginning of the cabin fever season for Motorcycle enthusiasts. I wonder what will happen to it once the sun comes out.

Being that it has been almost 18 months and I have not done this mod yet. I am going to try and tackle it this morning. Has anyone else done this lately? If so my question still is: which side of the yellow is cut? And which side is the power from the fender tip applied too? If I am reading this correct, cut on inner fairing side of connector and splice that to the blue wire?

[hard10]

Ok, aborted once again. Fairing back on I'm going ridin'.

After looking at the wiring diagram, I assumed that this would be most easily achieved by just removing the cover for the fairing switches, but then when I looked at things, I realized that the ignition switch would have to come off.  With no service manual at hand, I couldn't figure out how that's done.  How does the ignition switch come off (assuming that 'with a big hammer' is not an acceptable answer)?
