Electrical Precautions

Be aware of the following precautions regarding the electrical system to avoid disruption of
electrical signals and possible system malfunction.
• DO use ONLY genuine VICTORY parts and accessories designed for your model, and
follow the instructions provided. Equivalent parts may be used for emissions-related
purposes.
• DO use the accessory power jack provided (if equipped).
• If it is necessary to provide power to an item that does not use one of the previously
mentioned power jacks, connect to the "hot" side of the starter solenoid with an inline
fuse, and connect the ground wire to the chassis ground located at the left rear section of
the frame under the seat.
• DO NOT splice or cut any wires.
• DO NOT tap in to any power or ground on the motorcycle unless specifically directed to
do so by the VICTORY instructions that come with the kit.
• DO NOT back-probe electrical connectors on the vehicle unless directed to do so by the
VICTORY Service Manual.
