• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What are 2021 F3 wire colors for fender signals - adding side mirror turn signals?

I'm adding side mirrors with integrated turn signals to my Spyder. I need to tap the wire harnesses that supplies voltage to the front fender turn signals.

I can't find any links here that are working, that show the wiring diagram for the front fenders.

The fender harnesses (for the lights) have (3) wires.

Ground (black). And I'll assume one is the voltage for Daytime Running LEDs, and the other is for the turn-signal flash.

Looking to see if anyone can tell me what the wire colors are for which voltage source (the turn-signal or DRL).

(wanted to avoid removing the fender to pull the connector off to take voltage readings)


Thanks!

I do not know what all the wiring harness color codes are for Spyders. I have the wiring diagrams for most Carbed Harleys, and for the Spyders I usually work on details from the back pages of the Maintenance Manuals for them.

Just as an added note on the wire colors, I have recently built a couple of small trailers to be pulled by motorcycles, and I have found that the marker lights and the turn signal/brake lights do not use the standard wiring harness light colors. These were LED lights ordered for wiring trailers and the old standard wiring harness colors were useless in hooking them to a basic trailer harness.

The lights I ordered were not specifically for motorcycle trailers, so changing a larger trailer pulled by a truck over to LED lights would also arrive with non-standard wire colors.

It is not hard to figure out which wire goes where, and I have notes in one of the manuals about it, but it adds several splices of wires to a harness with different colors.

I guess this is to be expected when the LED lights you order were made off-shore.

FYI - both fender wire harnesses

Black wire = Ground
Solid wire = DRL, voltage always on
Striped wire = Turn-signal flash

Thanks to Texas AL for donating his old mirrors.
