And just in case folks think I have some super-secret H-D part number - here is a pic of building them. You really can't tell they didn't come from Mother-MOCO herself. 

I can probably start sending them out on Monday if anybody needs one.
Feedback is always welcome!

I hear ya Stu.
That's what I said (originally) as well.

  Seems very complicated to me..

That was the whole point of this endeavor ... it's easy-peasy now.
Follow the H-D install instructions for the LED Lightbar kit - use this Y-Harness instead of the included Y-harness.

Done.

Greg  -

What solution did you wind up going with?
I'd appreciate your comments on what you decided to do. It might help others out.

Are you still "un-resolved"?
Let me know how I can help ...

Hi TIF2, haven't done anything yet and have not made up my mind.
I sent Keith from Ridetime Technology a bunch of PDF's containing the detailed wiring schematics for the 2011 SESG tail light harness and the HD LED Tail Light assembly. Keith then made up and sent me a sample harness to evaluate for him and I hope to try it this weekend.
The local HD dealer's electrical tech favors me using the existing Y harness from the HD LED tail light kit, which uses AMP lock connectors instead of molex connectors. The tech said he would convert the Molex connections to AMP lock so the HD Y harness is plug and play with the HD LED Tail light wire harness. They said it would be about an hour's labor to change out the Molex connectors to AMP locks.
The third option would be the harness you have been working on.
Hopefully I will know more after this weekend and can make a decision.
Thanks for asking and I will get back to you.

[TIF2]

Cool ... let us know what pans out.
Can you post a pic of the RT harness?

Hi TIF2, I'll take pics and try to post this weekend. I have tried posting pics in the past w/o success, but will try again. Also, I'd like to go ahead and get one of your harnesses since it looks like it's a direct match to the existing connectors. How do we do this? Check, paypal, cashola?

^^
Just PM your address and I'll send you one. We can settle up once you're happy. No worries at all here.
Mine will not only work, but it will look like it "belongs there" (lol).

I'd really appreciate feedback on your install.

Just as a side note ...
The H-D Y-Harness contains an Orange/White wire. Mine does not have that (nor does the harness on the bike).
The Or/Wht wire is used on HD-I models (International) only. It has no functionality on Domestic models.

I can provide a harness for our International Brothers but I'll need to get some Or/Wht wire in.

Hi TIF2, I noticed the O/W wire too. There are 6 wires total coming off the main harness under the seat. In numeric order they are 1: brown; 2:orange/white; 3:violet; 4:empty; 5:black; 6:red/yellow; 7:blue; and 8:empty. Sending PM now. Thanks

TIF2, I should add that the molex connector with wires to the tail light wiring harness and light assemblies only has 5 wires. Like you said it does not make use of the Orange/white striped wire coming off the other side of the Molex connector pair. For the Molex connector to the tail lights, the wire order is 1:brown; 2:blank or plugged; 3:violet; 4:blank or plugged; 5:black; 6:red w/ yellow strip; 7:blue; and 8:blank or plugged.

Harness on the way to you Greg.

[gg]

Great, thanks.

Harness recieved and as Rich promised, it is plug and play and looks like HD factory equipment. Will try to take a picture so all can see it installed and get an idea of how it works. Thanks again Rich.
