STRICTLY OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES IN ORDER TO USE THE PRODUCT PROPERLY
AND AVOID POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS.
STEP 1
Read and understand all steps in the instructions before starting the
installation. Park the motorcycle on a hard, level surface and turn off the
ignition.
CAUTION! Avoid potential electrical shock! Disconnect the battery before
starting this procedure.
STEP 2
Remove the four fasteners that secure the rear license plate panel. Some
earlier models may have a fifth • fastener behind the license plate. Gently
pull off the back panel exposing the wiring harness. (Red and Blue plugs). PIC
1 If the bike is equipped with a trailer hitch, it may be helpful to remove
the receiver before removing the rear fender.
STEP 3
Locate the wiring bundle on the horizontal saddlebag support. Release the
catch on the large black nylon cable tie securing the bundle to the saddlebag
support and gently pull the wiring from the protective sheath. Unplug both
pairs of blue connectors (PIC.2) and plug the adapter harness “Milne” between
them (PIC.3), or inline with an existing adapter harness on the blue
connectors.
NOTE: If you have an existing Kuryakyn LED accessory light installed on
the rear of the motorcycle and do not want to install a second harness
adapter, you may use Kuryakyn Part Number 7302, Multi Plug and Play harness
with the existing harness adapter to gain the plug-in for the LED Rear
Reflector Conversion.
ATTENTION! Kiiryakyn recommends the use of dielectric grease on
electrical connections.
STEP 4
Neatly package the wiring bundle and tuck it back into its protective sheath
being sure to leave the red, white, and black pigtails exposed. Re-attach the
stock black nylon cable tie to hold the bundle in place.
STEP 5 Use a wrench to remove the stock reflector from the rear fender.
STEP 6 Using a 7/32″ drill bit, enlarge the existing indexing hole
located just right of the mounting stud hole. This will allow clearance for
the light’s wiring.
STEP 7 Install the L.E.D. Rear Reflector Conversion assembly. When
feeding the wiring through its hole take care not to damage the metal
connectors crimped to the end of each wire. Secure the unit with the M5 nut
and flat washer provided.
STEP 8 Put a dab of dielectric grease in the front end of the black nylon
male connector and plug it into one of the pigtails coming from the adapter
harness.
ATTENTION! Kiiryakyn recommends the use of dielectric grease on
electrical connections.
STEP 9
Support the rear fender so that the wires easily reach the adapter harness
(PIC.4). Insert the wires into the exposed end of the male connector you just
installed in the pigtail. Be careful to match red to red, black to black, and
white to white (PIC.5). Check each wire to make sure it is secure; if any did
not “latch” when inserted, carefully bend the metal connector’s lock tab up
slightly so it will catch when inserted into the male connector.
STEP 10 Secure the wire from the LE.D. Reflector Conversion with the
nylon cable ties provided to prevent contact with the rear tire.
ATTENTION! Secure all wiring away from any moving parts, pinch points or
extreme heat. Kiiryakyn WILL NOT issue a warranty on any electrical component
that fails due to pinched, crimped, broken, abraded, melted or frayed wires.
STEP 11
Snap the rear fender back in place and reinstall the four (five if an older
model) fasteners removed in
Step 2. The fastener with the longest threads (if an older model) belongs
in the center location.
STEP 12 Reinstall the license plate. Reconnect the battery, test all
lights.
WARNING! ENSURE PROPER LIGHT OPERATION BEFORE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE.
VISIBILITY IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR MOTORCYCLISTS. A LIGHTING MALFUNCTION COULD
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
ATTENTION! It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all of the
fasteners (including pre-assembled) are tightened before operation of the
motorcycle. Kuryakyn will not issue a warranty on components lost due to
improper installation. Periodic maintenance may be required.
Ride On!
