    A few questions on wiring for my lights

    The previous owner changed a few things, and I'm trying to understand what's going on here. I will see if I can post a few pics.




    The first is a pic of two wire connectors coming off the harness that fits under the seat. I have nothing to plug those into. On my other bike they travel forward and disappear into a loom.

    The second pic is a few wires which had something to do with the fairing, perhaps. They are tied into the panel which I have shown in the third pic. I'm not sure if I can just disconnect them.

    I have a few more questions, but will see if this works, first.

    Darnit, how come it won't embed?

    I am not sure what is going on here. I am inserting the url like it is asking, and it's doing nothing. Can an administrator please edit that top post to take the "IMG" tags out? Now I can't even add the picture address. What am I doing wrong?

      Right click the image, select image location, and on the XS11 site select the square box with yellow and a square in the upper right corner. Click on the http inside the box that pops up, and right click then past.

        Thank you, Ray. That is exactly what I did. I have no clue why it didn't work. I tried it repeatedly.

        PS- Would you be able to swap the 1st and 3rd pics? Otherwise, my post is confusing.

                  So to the questions!
                  #1 spare wires for full dress kit, just leave them but zip tie them so they don't flop.
                  #2 disconnect and toss. wires tied to the AUX fuse for a radio or something.
                  #3 Connect with T.C. and buy one of the fuse panel kits he has. REPLACE THE GLASS FUSE PANEL! it WILL cause you a LOT of problems!!!
                  TC's kit has the "flag" connectors, so you need the proper crimp tool to use them. I got one for about $20 on ebay that works very well.

                    Good to hear. I already sent TC the money, and plan on it. Thanks, DiverRay!
                    PS- I have more pics I'll post tomorrow, but I need a new bulb for my test light before I ask more questions.
