unhooked wires under the tank (turn signals)
« on: May 06, 2019, 03:21:01 PM »
Hello all. I am working on getting the bike back together. The PO cut the front turn signal stalks off. I bought a new front piece so that I can mount them back. BUT under the tank there is a connection that is undone. I cannot find an empty mate to it. Does anyone know where the mate should be to it?

I guess I should hook my battery to it and see if it give any juice up there.

Thanks in advance!!!

Blue/Black is the right turn

correct, but where should this plug into?

Ive tried to look all around, and I cant seem to find an empty female connector.

If the PO took the indicators off could he have also removed that part of the wiring loom up to the vacant connector.

yea, but thats the weird thing. I have the 2 wires sticking out in the front to connect to the bulbs. tonight Ill hook up the battery and see if there is any voltage up front.

Thanks!!!

I am just trying to get this finished up so I can get the tank mounted. It shouldn't be too long before I bring the old girl back to life!!!
