Would really like TP lights, or even saddle bag spoiler lights, to function as turn signals.  Anyone know of a kit or module to do this?  Did a search on the site, but didn't find anything that worked.

TIA

DC, I and several others have done this on ours. At least the saddle bag spoiler lights. You'll have to make the kit. Is this what you want?

Here are the pictures. You will need an adapter to splice the wires into the harness. Get a trailer harness from J P Cycles and you'll have to cut the ends off. Hope this helps.

Any pictures of which wires to tap into for the tour pak lights to work as turn signals?

[AXIL]

 pull out your tour pak liner and look at the light bulb sockets,(you must have a brake/turn signal module under the
seat for this to work), the black wire is ground and the blue wire is running lights. leave them alone next cut the
red with yellow tracer wires from both sockets. connect the left side r/y wire to the purple wire at the fender connection, then the right side r/y wire to the brown wire at the fender connector. hope this helps.

http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=31012.0;attach=94083 You mean one like this that goes under the seat?

[AXIL]

 yes ,that would be the one. I hope i was clear about the connections being on the fender side of the module.

Not sure about the fender side, was going to go out to the bike and see if it made sense.  I have the harness.

No offense Axil but,

Don't do this!

The last thing you want to do is cut a factory wire!
Spend the $25 and get a trailer harness. Then cut the wires off of it.

I have the harness mentioned earlier can I do the mode in it?

Ok,here's the wiring info stolen copied from Rebel:


Hey Ya'll-

A quick tip for those without a meter, the wiring to the existing connector on the bike is set up like this...
Blue Wire is the Running Light
Orange w/Yellow Stripe is the Brake Light
Black is Ground

It's an easy install- measure and mark the center of the flex tube (use something that'll wipe off), use a hair dryer to heat up the ends about two inches to the ends and they'll bend like butter.  While it's still flexible hold it up against the tour pac bracket and let it cool so it'll retain its shape.  Hint: wires should be on the left as your looking from the rear of the bike.  Clean the tour pack bracket where the strip will attach with an alchohol pad, let it dry, then pull the protective tape off the double sided tape on the strip and apply the strip to the tour pac bracket starting with the center first, heat up the ends a little more as you wrap the strip around the bends.  Hold it in place for a couple minutes, just to be sure it doesn't pull away.  Voila its attached, now all you've gotta do is wire it in... run the wires through shrink tubing then up through the hole in the tour pack... there is a hole right there at the end of the tube, almost like it was designed that way.  Use the connector and pins you already bought at the dealer...
P/N 73103-96BK, tab housing, 3 position   (female plug)  ---  1 needed
P/N 73190-96 ,  terminal pins    --- 3 needed
Remember- Blue is Running, Orange w/Yellow Stripe is Brake and Black is Ground.
Strip looks great and works well.  Now you're ready to ride.  Total time about 45 minutes... and that's taking it easy.

Hope this helps.

The info I'm using is for the leather TP. The king TP should have the same harness under the liner if you want to use those wires. If not, use the "trailer" harness or cut the ends off of the brake-run-stop module.

[hard10]

I have the harness mentioned earlier can I do the mode in it?

Yes, it doesn't matter where you get the power source from. I just would not cut a factory wire to do it. If you want to tap into the harness in the TP, buy the:

P/N 73103-96BK, tab housing, 3 position   (female plug)  ---  1 needed
P/N 73190-96 ,  terminal pins    --- 3 needed

and then use these wires instead.

Here's a pic

I get where to pick up the power.  How do I tap into the tail lights of the tour pak?
