Welcome.

Pull down the manual (via Mechanics 101 section) and look up your bike's wiring diagram.

Generically speaking, you're just going to hook up the same wires you have going to your front signals now. Just like a car, there are usually only 2 or 3 wires. One is ground. One is running lights (if equipped) and the other is the flasher bulb itself.

Locate the wires on your current lights and see how many you have. It isn't too hard to figure out. Electrical stuff is just like plumbing. Volts = pressure, Amps = volume, Resistance = a valve. Pretty much anyway...

Do yourself a favor. When it comes time to actually hook up the wires, do it right. Strip the ends, basket weave/twist them together, solder them and shrink wrap. Avoid the temptation to use ScotchLoks because they are corrosive aluminum and generally suck. It's a pay it forward thing.

Crimp connectors and shrink tubing will work also, if a soldering iron isn't available.

thanks guys! I appreciate the advice-- one more quick thing. I'm having issues getting the current mirrors off due to... this incredibly stripped hex screw.



I've tried using a screw remover drillbit to no avail, and multiple hex keys. Anyone have a surefire way to get out a stripped screw?

Can you sneak a dremel cutoff wheel or hacksaw in there? (carefully...) and just cut it off enough to get the head/mirror off. Don't use a Sawzall...

You could also try spraying the threads with WD40 etc to lube them and crank the living hell out of a pair of vice grips on the exposed threads and extract it that way. You could also try double nutting the exposed threads so you don't mangle them depending on how much room you have.

Yeah been there, drilled the head off so, I wouldn't damage the fairing. Then I had more room to do what ever I needed to. Expect to have to retap the nut.

I ended up drilling it off, thanks for the help! I'm learning things, slowly...
