Harley Sportster: Solving A Simple Confusing Wiring Issue

[@RollWithSoul317]

Your patience is amazing! I don’t know if I could’ve sat there and solved that puzzle!! I might have parked the bike in the nearest cornfield and let the next guy have it 🤣!!! Awesome job and very useful information BB. 😎👍

Oh, that’s definitely throwing in the towel. 😂

Good explanation of the relationship between the brake lights & hazard lights!👍

I love you have the patience and knowledge to do this stuff. Me, id go broke paying shops to deal with it😂 cut to my latest LS engines issues….yep sending to shop for “simple repairs”. Engine mounts(eventually), power steering pump replacement (asap), body rust(eventually)

[@BrandonBicasso]

Lol, rebuilding bikes or cars isn't worth it (in most cases) when using a shop and paying labor. Totally get not wanting to deal with it. My LS3 went to the shop when I needed the trans serviced. I could do it but crawling under a car.. man..

Bro I enjoy your build videos. I am currently rebuilding a crashed copart 883. Do you have a link to those front and rear turn signals? Thanks

Thank you for this video. I have the same motorcycle and I'm trying to set the same turn/stop indicators. The manufacturer puts 3 in 1 system rear lights (running lights, turn and stop) and it have only 3 wire. In LED indicators, there are 4 wire (running lights, stop signal, turn and ground). How can I connect them properly? As I understand it, OEM brake light and turn signal work on the same wire and that's the problem. Thank’s!

That catches out a lot of people on HDs. The damn little switch is picky about how you take the switchgear apart. A folded cigarette butt between the brake lever and the switch plunger is how the HD mechanics taught me how to keep from breaking the switch plunger.

[@BrandonBicasso]

It is. I almost broke it a few times when mounting everything.

Sheer brilliance

[@RollWithSoul317]

🤔 Man, I’m still confused!!! 🤣

In normal condition, when your brakes are NOT ENGAGED, your brake pedal or lever rests on the switch. When you ENGAGE your brakes (pedal/lever) the switch is not depressed and your brake lights activate. Brandon does a good job demonstrating the action of the switch engaged and disengaged, thus activating the brake lights. When shopping for after-market lights, be aware that some bikes use a positive + ground and not a negative - ground.
