Note, Light Bar Wiring Helpful Hints:
The long Blue wire is the main power wire for the spotlights on
the light bar. Connect that to the main power source from the
headlight. Either the High Beam wire or the Low Beam wire.
The choice is your preference. Turn on bike and Check.
The two short RED wires are for the turn signals. One RED wire
for the Left side turn signal and one for the Right side turn signal.
Turn on bike and check.
The two short BLACK wires are for the running lights. One
BLACK wire for the Left side running light and one for the Right
side running light. Turn on bike and check.
The Light Bar attached to the front fork of the motorcycle serves
as the ground in most cases. A precautionary step to insure
proper grounding is to take one of the Green Ground wires from
the existing turn signals and ground that between the Light Bar
Mount and the Triple Tree Bracket.
Always start by doing one side at a time. Preferably the right
side or high side of the bike first.
