I'm surprised that any shop or HD themselfs would be that careless with wires. Is there any way that you can clean it up at all?

I did some after that pic. Some of the things were rubbing so I have to move a few things... Well the problem is so many wires need to go in so many different ways.... Its really more layered than the pic looks.

Yeh i see what looks to be 5 sets of wire installs? If that was me, I would start by buying a bunch of different color wires, wire loom plastic and some better than radio shack quality connectors, and just build the wire harness one wire at a time from scratch.

Anyway I would try and route it like this one main harness with a few legs comming off the main one:

If you build it from scratch yourself you can make the wires all length to fit, wrap everything in black plastic wire loom and it would look like a proffessional install. Again the mods themselfs are cool, just the insides need some staightening.

Looks good man. Nice work.

Problem is derf... room! Be surprised... even those little TDR's had to get moved... Right now I want to shake it down... once I determine there are no problems and its solid I may get back in there and do some more work...

but man let me tell ya... its tough on room in there now.

What I failed to post a month ago

Well I thought I was done but decided to add a few more items to the wife's bike.

Custom Dynamics Street Magic LEDs in the tail lights and front blinkers.

The Nightster comes stock with red lenses.

Last year I changed them out for smoked out and couldn't find red 1157 bulbs locally. Tried some reds off ebay and they sucked, so ended up with the red "socks" over bulb.

They function ok but look like poo

So lets make the change. Now with these newer electronics you have to put in a load equalizer, due to the less draw that the LED lights pull. So a trust worthy version is BadLands. More specifically the 3rd version specifically for the XL.

So here's what we have to install

Pull the seat and locate this harness plug

Unplug and run the equalizer inline

Tuck in and push wires back into place

Pop the lens off with a flat screwdriver

Pull the bulb out
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...er/LEDs016.jpg

Plug in and twist into place with a screwdriver, just as you would with the bulb
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...er/LEDs017.jpg

Turn the LED board to spool the wire to allow the board to fit, use the lens to hold them in place. Takes 2 hands.

BAM

Repeat on other tail light.

The fronts also came with the orange lenses, that I replaced with smoked and orange bulbs

These looked fine and worked good. However, if you do the rear, got to do the front to keep up the look.

In goes the LED

BAM

Lights please...

Rears

Left blinker (hard to see with the wierd side light from the open garage)
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...r/LEDs032a.jpg

Fronts

With these Eclipse versions for the fronts. Instead of going from level 1 brightness and blink brighter.. these actually turn off and back on instead. They say this makes them more visible. To avoid the "left hand turner in front of you".
