  • Fairing to square headlight conversion

    Hey guys Ive been working on converting a 79 F with fairing to the standard square headlight bucket. After some serious searching and a lot of luck I found a couple of buckets, brackets and lamps I was able to piece together for a pretty nice/clean setup. Now for sorting the turn signal wiring? Im no electrical engineer so the manual(s) diagram is a little hard for me to understand. Anyone been down this road (Im guessing yes) or have some insight to save me some time and maybe some hair? The rear signals are easy so its just the front I need help with. Maybe theres already a thread on this topic but I couldn't find one specifically. My apologies if there is and I missed it. Thanks in advance.

    I would first remove the fairing pigtail harness with the Molex type plug. Then the left signal hot is brown, right is dark green, blue is for running lights if you are using them. The ground is thru the bike frame to the signal housing.

        Hi BBQ rider,
        I bet it will take more than one attempt to teach all those wires to get in the headlight bucket Be sure to save the pigtail for the fairing in case you what to put it back on later or if you sell it.
