I got all the parts together this week, The Hitch from Bushtech includes a wiring harness & an Wiring Isolator a Chrome Hitch pin and a Ball lock (that's what I need for my Bushtech trailer) They have a Hitch with a ball if you need it just tell'em when you & if you order it.
They also Have the V rail rear fender trim that replaces the HD fender brace under thw rear fender.
The Hitch is Black Powder coated two Fender Struts and Bolt to the Reciver all orginial Hardware is replaced with Grade 8 Bolts and blue locktigth.
The Installation instructions are very complete, That's why I did not do a complete write up All you need to do is remove the Saddle bags and the Seat (Which most everyone here can and has done. Bolt up the hitch and connect the wiring.
I was able to connect all the Wiring Before Disconnecting the -Battery lead Then The + Battery Lead Which was the Most difficult part of the install. The HD BAttery is seated Down below the wiring harness so I need to get VAZHOGETTE to help Wedge a insulated long flat blade screwdriver under the bottom of the battery while I pulled (Lifted) the BAttery (by the connected -battery lead) then pushing down on the Flatblade screwdriver under the bottom of the battery case I was able to lift the battery high enough to get a wrench on the -lead to get the screw completely out and then do the same with the + lead. That made connecting the rest of the stuff eaiser. I will explain that next,
I said eailer that I connected the Isolater and the trailer wiring harness together the Isolater has Four leads LT,RT,STOP,RUNNING it also has a BLACK- & +Red with 30amp Fuse holder to connect to the HD Battery Remove the fuse before you connect it to the battery
I bought a part from J&P CYCles part is listed in an eailer post on this thread the connect inbetween the bikes rear wiring harness so I did no have to cut the oem wiring I had already connected the isolator to the J&P part so I clicked together .
NOW I was ready to connect all the + reds to the Still raised battery While I was in there I added two Gerbings hookups I rolled them up and tie wrap them under the left side cover so they will pull out when I need them. The Hook up for the battery tender (Which the Shop I bought mine from CUT the RING terminals and jammed them onto the BAttery terminals) MY Negitive cable was loose before I started theis project! Then I hook all the - leads installed the 30 amp fuse the 15 amp fuses in the Gerbing Hookups, the 7.5 amps fuse for the battery tender and another 15 amp fuse for my trailer air suspension. All Fuses Held [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]
Hooked the trailer everything worked as designed then it was matter of folding all the extra wires the isolator into the battery box running a split loom around the wires from the J&P Cycle parts put the seat back on and off went to Costo for a store run round trip over anf through the mountains 125 miles.
