Justin I really enjoy your videos, but this one really hit home for Jeremy and I. Watching you having so much fun and-- --and getting the results of self satisfaction. You should be so proud of your work. I also am reminded in your facial expression of the joy you got when the task was through. LOL I can relate!!! Congrats .....

[@JustinTheCreator]

Mike...I cannot thank you enough for putting up with my numerous messages and phone calls trying to get this right! Really appreciate you, brother! 🙌🏼

[@perrygroves8067]

Thanks brother. I appreciate this. You handled this soup to nuts. Great job. I could not understand any of this then I came across this video.

Hey Justin, I did get my signals done on ‘23 Zforce 950 HO EX, but I ended up buying the OEM flasher and switch and it was just plug and play for the front and dash. For the rear I followed your directions with adapter and it works perfectly. Thanks, just a quick note I also added Hazards button and bought OEM horn kit and it all works as it should. All plug and play

[@kennylocklear5155]

I would like to say thanks for your video. I have done my Z force 950 2021 turn signal all the way around.

[@ironheadbiker]

Greetings from Wisconsin! OH MAN can I relate to the, "let's check the footage to see if it works". Bought an old 01 dodge dually 1 ton with nothing for lights working. Anyways, I'm slowly getting to the point of doing this for my '21 uforce. I can't believe their "kit" sells all new headlights and taillights for $1,400! I belive breaking into the "eyebrow" running light in front and trailer light plug in the rear should work. I can appreciate your whole day, confusing at times struggle, but man, when it works in the end! Great job, and thanks for sharing, and filming, and editing. Lol. Such work put in for others benefit. I'll try and do the same for my uforce 1000.

[@JustinTheCreator]

Wow...thank you so much for those awesome and kind words! I am so appreciative of people who recognize the work that goes into these videos sometimes. Lol. The uforce should honestly work just as you are describing doing them! Can’t wait to see them in action! Appreciate you watching and the words of encouragement 💪🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@robertlabonte6092]

WOW! You really edit great and explain in common terms precisely! I just now subscribed because of your efforts! I will watch more of your videos today, lol. I know someone may have asked this a while back but what rocker brand switch are you using for directionals? Did you install hazards? I see once you installed the rear that your signals show on the display so if it is one rocker for front and back the signals will always show on display? So sorry if I missed someone ask, I just bought ones and you are the only one I have subscribed to. FANTASTIC TALENTS!!

[@marcusrainey1876]

Justin correct me if im wrong….did you have to take it all apart? If you look on the right side near the rear shock you will see a harness that has all the wires there. If you tap in on the tail light side you dont need to pull it apart right?

[@JustinTheCreator]

It can be done without taking it apart, but I don't have that much patience...lol. Much more of a struggle, at least on mine

[@howardbowles6294]

Justin do you have a video for hooking up the flashers on a 22 Z FORCE 950 HO EX? Thank you

[@JustinTheCreator]

I will have to check to see if it’s the same harness…I’m not sure on the HO EX

[@steves3688]

Great video Justin...a little confusing but Ill figure my way thru it with your video...just an FYI the rear trailer wiring harness and license light harness was back there too...They are capped off and are plug and play. I dont pull a trailer but I did use the license light plug and used a cfmoto license light for that...really easy when you have rear tray off but it can be done with it on but really tight...when i do this blinker job I will hook up trailer wiring just to have it there in case...

[@JustinTheCreator]

Definitely was confusing. Lol...I saw that plug and wondered if that’s what it was for. Now I know! Thank you, Steve! Appreciate you!

Justin, i pritty much followed all of your instrutions. But, i have a question. On the turn signal switch, there are 5 wires. I know what the orange, light blue and center wire are for. But, what are the other 2 wures for? Does the switch light up when you turn on the indicater?

I honestly have never tried them...my switch doesn’t light up, but I know they can. I may try that today and see what happens...

[@MrJeepguy1974]

I called cfmoto and they said that they make blinkers for other countries but can’t directly sell blinker kits to us in the USA due to embargo laws but that we can have a dealership order the blinker kit through them. We just can’t order directly as a consumer.

[@JustinTheCreator]

Not the kit, but all you need to order from them is the signal switch. You honestly don’t even need to do that. Lol

[@rayl3537]

I just finished up on my cforce 600 touring and it works!! Only thing i noticed is when i brake and put turn signal on, it flashes faster than with out braking any ideas? could it be the flasher that i got has a knob to adjust blinker speed?

[@JustinTheCreator]

Awesome! If you adjust that flasher know, they should slow down

[@mmeives]

I have the 2021 model Zsport 950 and mine has a daytime running lights relay from the factory that keeps the front eyebrow lights on all the time when the machine is running

[@JustinTheCreator]

My fronts do the same. You can utilize those for front turn signals. They are already wired. I have a video showing how to make those work, too :)

[@mmeives]

@@JustinTheCreator my daytime running lights use the blinker light and are on when the light switch is in the off position, when the switch is in the mid position the dimmer accent light comes on along with the tail light, I am thinking that the relay in the fuse box listed as "daytime running light relay" may have been a change in the 2021 model it doesn't even show up in the manual on page 159

[@JustinTheCreator]

@@mmeives yep! Mine are the same way. I love that they change to Amber when the switch is engaged.

Hi Justin your video is great but we are having trouble with the passenger side. We cut the green and yellow wire just like the driver side and connected the yellow wire but we are not getting a blinker signal, we know we have the signal up to that point what are we doing wrong or do you have any pictures or a diagram of what it should look like? Thanks for your help Becky

[@JustinTheCreator]

Did you hook it up to the side that feeds I to the tail light?

[@BeckyCook-tl4hq]

Yes we did and we did not get anything,

[@BeckyCook-tl4hq]

Hi, so we are not understanding where you stand art in the back for cutting the wires, do you cut them or b the side tat goes to the the light that has the three wires or are you cutting the wires that are in n the actual wire harness? Also where do you ground your wire to? Sorry for all the questions.

[@BeckyCook-tl4hq]

Where you start cutting sorry for the auto correct.

[@eltoro8333]

Will this work on a 2022 Sport?

[@JustinTheCreator]

[@larry97016]

FYI get rid of those taps ASAP. They will give major wiring problems down the road as moister starts to enter the wire and you get the green crap in the copper.

[@JustinTheCreator]

I plan on heat shrinking all of them. The only actual taps I have in are behind the dash. Everything else is done with heat shrunk butt connectors. 👍🏼

[@pesticidal]

Looks great! Was hoping for an easier install, however. I'm not sure I'm up for that much work....

[@JustinTheCreator]

It’s a lot, for sure...but the worst part is just getting it apart. Once it’s apart, running the wiring and hooking it all up is easy. Even reassembly is easy. Now that I’ve done it, I could probably do another one in an hour or so.

[@DavidLang79]

Between your videos and the video by Ian Clark kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4qqZoiNo8yMedU you fellas made this a breeze. Overall it took me about 4 hours start to finish, but could have been done more quickly if I wasn't so anal about wiring. Thanks for posting.

[@donaldbrown4168]

I’m getting ready to do it, but have 3 questions I think you’ll know if you used Ian’s method. (Or Justin’s I guess) When you cut the left and right g/y wires in the rear harness, did you do all your connections at that point. I.e. tie in the brake to one end of the cut wire and tie in the converter left and right outputs at that point rather than by the back wheel connector? Did you tie the brake input to both the left and right cut wires or just the left as Justin mentioned? What did you do to the unused 2 brown and one white wires on the converter?

[@DavidLang79]

It's been a bit since I did it, but I did do everything into the harness in the right rear fender well. I put a floor jack under the pumpkin for a little extra head clearance and I also did not remove the wheel. As for the unused wires, I capped them off with a heat shrink butt connector and wrapped them with electrical tape to keep them water tight and tucked everything I could back into the convoluted tubing. The wires I couldn't fit in the tubing I zip tied to non moving surfaces and out of the way of anything that did move. Lastly, I did the wiring as Justin suggested only using the one brake wire and in some sort of magical way, it just all worked out. Hope that helps out.

[@donaldbrown4168]

Thanks SO SO MUCH for the fast response!!!! Greatly appreciated! To make sure I got it right on what you said I’ll restart it to you. For the three extra converter wires (2brown & 1 white) you cut them back and just put a waterproof heat shrink on each one For the three g/y wires in the rear wire harness you cut in half the RT (once you figured it out) wire and attached the end going to the wheel to the green from the up front converter output wire and tied the other side to the red brake input from up front. On the other g/y LT wire you cut it and attached the yellow from the up front converter to the side going toward the LT and the other side you just capped it. Lastly you didn’t run any wires from the wire harness (you worked on) to rear turn signal connectors or even touch those connectors by the rear turn signals.

[@DavidLang79]
