Wiring my turn signals

[Wild Coyote]

I've looked at the wiring diagram and I am lost! Can anyone that has wired silver bullet turn signals, tell me how to wire them? What colors get matched with what? I have the Billski Mod, and figured that one out, but I am not sure about the turn signals. Someone spell it for for me! I must be fucking color blind, or just brain dead!!

Used the search button before posting this. Not finding my answer. I know I'm a pain in the ass! How do I figure out which wire is the positive lead from the bike? I looked at other threads regarding wiring. I understand the concept, making sure the bulbs are in right, etc. I just need to know which wire is the ground, which is the positive, and which is the siginal wire. I just don't want to cut anything I don't have to.

It would really help if you told us what color wires you where working with . They can change from bike to bike . Do you have to many wires ?Try and be more specific .

BTW what brand are the sigs? If they are Kuryakyn's give them a call. They have a great tech support system.

Had the same problem with mine... the best answer for this was a tester it worked like a charm.....

[RustyJake]

not knowing the set up you are trying to get going (are they run/turn signals or just signals?)
How many wires are coming out? What colors are they? If you can post a link to the lights you bought I'm sure someone here is running the same and will be able to help. A little more info if you may.

My eyesight must be going, I thought you said toaster!

Too much time in the board....

I just went to RADIOSHACK and bought a tester . They are amazing . :wink_2:

Wiring is all done and it was easy. When I just had the Billski tail light and the silver bullet signal lights all worked fine. The I got some new front running/turn signals, not LEDs or anything, just two fork mounts with bulbs, now my signals blink faster. Not really fast, but faster than before. What's the deal? Do I need to do something??

p.s. ordered some "burbs!!" I'll post pics when I get them installed.

It won't hurt anything if they blink faster. If it bothers you install a load equalizer.

Hi CBN, Good to hear that it's somewhat resolved....I am somewhat a regular around here and I don't mind telling you that posting this type of post will piss off more peeps than poops.....in other words.....if you resolve the issue w/o disclosure of resolution no one member may step up to the plate next time.

.....For example....was your problem resolved using a common ground....soldering an extra conductor?....using an old girlfriend?.....

Load equalizer's can be used and maybe only a resistor depending on the load.

I just tested the wires to see which ones lit the running light and which did the signal light. The same with the Billski Mod. You just have to make sure the right connections are made. If you hook them up backwards, especially on the Billski, you will have a tail running light that is very bright, and when you hit the break, you can barely see the difference. Green is always ground, just switch the other two and try them. All I did was tried all possible connections and tested them before I wove the wires together and hit it with solder. I finished it up with shrink tubing, lit a match under it for a second or two, and done. Perfect splice, clean finish, and water proof.
