Not sure what you're looking for... but here's another pic... before I installed the side lights. My camera can't keep up!

Dang! That is ONE HOT BIKE! I Love Mine Too!

I am going to add the (Tramp Stamp) Pinstripe that is on the Batwing to the rear of my chopped TP. Can't wait to get it back. Ordered it two weeks ago. Same Hot Citrus/Antique Gunstock. I am setting mine up for solo riding with the matching CVO Buffalo Leather Backrest. The only option that I am undecided on, would be to add the Contoured Luggage Rack to the top. Has anyone seen one of these on a chopped TP? I have also ordered the 3 color matched Spoilers. The only drawback was the $2.4K spent on this toy.  

As a Side Note: I too will have to go to Pep Boys for those home built harness parts and enjoy some wrenching on my bike with a cold brew.  :drink: (There are 3 blank pins available on those 12 pin Saddle Bag Connectors - That will save some time).

BTW, I have successfully installed the Garmin Road Tech Zumo 665 to the Dash - I really love that addition for the 5 Iron Butt Rides I have planned next Spring/Summer. Any LD Riders on here?

Thanks! I wanted lights back there, but I didn't want the Ultra light bar because I want this bike to have its own, "definitely NOT an Ultra" look. JC and others here convinced me to leave it alone back there, and let the Hot Citrus just "be". This tiny little light bar is so thin that your eyes don't even see it - but when I hit the brakes or apply the turn signals, you can't miss it.

Could I get some more pics of the Ridetime install? I've been trying to figure out a way to get more light back there too and haven't really wanted to add the Ultra setup.

Ken, excellent job/choices for adding lights to the tour pak.  If you can, a short video clip showing the run/brake/turn signal function on your LED strip lighting would be great.

Also, I was one who was certain that the SESG3 has the tour pak harness (as does every other fairing equipped Touring model) and was WRONG--it has one, but it's so short as to be useless for tour pak lighting as you've shown.  Along with no 6B connector (so installing NIM, CB and XM would be easy), and missing 3 wires for a speaker switch in the 105A fairing cap switch harness as documented by TIF2, having a stub tour pak harness is added to the one-off wiring issues of the SESG3.

When you can, a description of how you wired the lights would be helpful.  For example, are the side marker lights wired to the tour pak harness you fabbed?  Is the tour pak spoiler LED wired per the instructions to the accessory connector under the seat?  How's the strip LED light wired?

Congrats, again, on the lighting installations.

Thanks, Carl! I'm not completely done with the wiring yet. It works, but it's not yet as easily detachable as I want it to be.

I did not use the accessory connector at all. I used the TP connector (the "stub" connector) for the run/brake lights, and rerouted it up under the seat instead of where it was under the left side cover. Then I made up a custom pigtail cable that plugs into the TP connector for run/brake/ground, and also has two more wires that I used to tap into the existing big lighting harness under the seat, to pick up the left and right turn signal connections. I installed a 6-pin Deutsch connector on the end of this short cable, to terminate these 5 wires. The now-5-wire bundle from the TP (run/brake/ground/left/right turn signals) has the other half of this 6-pin Deutsch connector at the end of it, and it plugs into this pigtail cable under the seat. This cable from the TP goes in under the rear of the seat right in the middle, not on the side like on Ultra - and goes up into the TP through a hole I drilled in the center of the TP at the bottom front. This keeps the look very clean, since  there are no holes on the left nor right front of the TP like there would be on an Ultra. Since there are no speaker pods on my TP and the CVO phantom flame graphics extend around to the front of the TP, the only hole in the one right in the center at the bottom front, and the look is very clean. You don't really even notice the small wire bundle coming from the rear center bottom of the seat, up into the center front bottom of the TP. Very cool looking, I think.

I am going to improve this to have a 6-pin Deutsch connector mounted on the center bottom front of the TP, and the cable from the bike will simply plug into this Deutsch connector on the TP. This will make it more easily detachable. Right now, I have to remove the seat first, then unplug the 6-pin connector under the seat. I want to make it where I can just unplug the TP without first having to remove the seat.

I used the Ride Time Technology "Turnz" unit (very small unit in the TP) to connect the 3 two-wire pairs from their LED bar. There is one pair for the middle section, one for the right 25 LEDs, and one for the left 25 LEDs. Each LED in the Ride Time light bar is very tiny - but MUCH brighter than the much-larger LEDs in the TP spoiler. The Turnz  unit enables the LED bar to use all 115 LEDs as a brake light, and the left and right 25 LEDs as turn signals. When either brake is applied, all 115 LEDs light up - and when a turn signal is applied, the left or right 25 LEDs blink in sync with the turn signals in the rear fender. The turn signal LEDs blink when a turn signal is applied, whether the brake is applied or not... and if a brake and a turn signal are applied simultaneously, all of the other LEDS stay lit, while the right or left 25 flash. It works exactly the way I wanted it to work!  :2vrolijk_21: 

There was probably an easier way to have done all of this... but I was learning and inventing as I went along - to get the TP spoiler to function as run/brake, and the Ride Time Technology LED bar to function as brake/turn. There are a lot of little wires under the TP liner that I want to clean up as well... but it at least works for now.

I also have the color-matched saddlebag spoilers coming. I am hoping that I can just tap into the three unused pins in the 12-pin saddlebag Duetsch connectors to power these as run/brake/turn as well.

I will post a video soon of the LED bar brake/turn functions.

The fun never ends with the bike! There are a whole lotta wires in it...  :orange: :orange: :orange:

Hi Howard. Love that pic of your beautiful Krypto!

I got the Deutsch connector and pins from Killer Creek Harley. Their parts guys there are great... but they see me coming and I'm sure they are thinking "Oh Lord... what's he need THIS time?"   :confused5:

The Deutsch connector doesn't come in a single part... they had to get each side of the connector, and the 6 pins for each side (plus 2 or 3 extra for me to practice with) - and they are all sold individually. You can also get Deutsch connectors of various types and sizes on eBay, as complete kits with the connector and pins. The pins are different for each side of the connector - there are pins in one side of the connector, and receptacles in the other side of the connector, into which the pins slide. I've looked on eBay, and there is a wide variety of complete kits from various seller there.

The crimper I use is a Philmore WS26 that I bought at Fry's Electronics for $9. Carl (HarleyPingMan) told me about the WS26. I've attached pics here for you. There are better, articulated ones available - but the WS26 works just fine for me.

In doing this, I discovered that the trick to successful crimping is to make sure the little ears that get bent down into the wire get started correctly in the crimper. I practiced on a pin or two first, and realized that the crimper works best if you gently nudge the ears into position in the crimper with a gentle squeeze first, to make sure they start the bend properly, before doing a full squeeze to actually make the crimp. It's quite easy once you get the hang of it! The pins are small, and you only need about 3/16" or so of bare wire exposed to get crimped, The insulation needs to rest in the crimper too - so it gets crimped by the ears at the rear section of the pins - as well as the bare wire getting crimped by another set of ears further in the pin. The pins are cheap, so it makes sense to get extras with which to practice, before attempting the real thing!

Here's a closeup pic of the jaws of the Philmore WS26 crimper tool. You can see the little projection in the middle of each crimp jaw. Those two little semicircles bend the two little ears on the pin into curves, and down into the middle of the wire strands and the insulation.

I just ordered my color match Ruby Red & Flames Tour Pak yesterday along with a whole slew of other parts; smoke lens side marker lights, short angled highway pegs, matching passanger floorboards, two up quick disconnect mounting and 4 point mount. I also ordered a back pad for the tour pak in road glide design. The dealer is looking to see if there is a CVO Street Glide back pad available.
I decided not to get the airwing luggage rack with smoked stop/tail lens. I really like it on my 2004 SEEG but will wait to see how inconvenient it is to leave stuff home instead of strapping my extra helmet to the rack.
As always I'll post pictures as the job progresses.
