Is the radio control module that's mounted on the left handlebar a separate harness from the main harness that all the other handlebar controls are wired into? I can see it's a separate harness leading from the mount to the fairing, just don't know if it's isolated from the rest of the wiring other than possibly for power. Reason for asking....if it is separate, then I want to transfer my fat bars from the other bike over to the trike, along with my risers to which I've become accustom. I have a larger diameter set of bars and the controls harness runs inside. I have all kinds of connectors so am able to change those out easily as needed, I'd just like to keep my Harley controls with separate turn signal buttons, the fat bars, and with those bars I'd be able to also keep my choke mod off the old bike. The choke mod was created due to the HD controls didn't have a choke lever like the OEM cable thingy the Valkyrie came with. Granted, it's a fair amount of work to make the switch but with that white crap coming before long I'll not be riding anyway.

PS: I haven't looked at a schematic yet....I'm lazy.  Wink

Good to know, means I can swap my HD controls w/fat bars over. Also means possibly some connector changes are in store but not an issue for me, figure if I can adapt HD controls to a Honda harness as I did some years ago, I can do it again on the trike.  cooldude

          John in case yer not aware on the I/S in the right side of the fairing is a red square plug. A Lot of the ignition start circuitry goes thru that plug. When Ross worked on mine couple years back those angled brass contacts needed the angle put back in them. Just in case with all the swappin yer plannin on in case she don't wanna restart when yer done well there ya is!  coolsmiley Kinda a head start F Y I!  cooldude
