Taking trunk off my interstate, purchased a standard tail light, is there a plug and play for the wiring or do I have to cut and solder? If so where do I find one, looked bit unable to find one. THANKS AGAIN!

If you look at the plug on the wiring coming from the trunk for the taillights for the trunk, you will see that it is a 3 prong plug  that goes to the connection under the right side cover, you can either buy another matching plug and wire it to the tail light or cut the one off the trunk and wire it to the tail light and just plug it in...only do that if you don't intend to put the trunk back on with a quick disconnect.

Don't know if this is what you are looking for, but #6 and 7 are the harness to the taillight on a std/tourer.

Yes they will all fit your bike if you have the mounting Brackets and hardware.

If you put the trunk back on, and install the CB radio under the trunk, it will interfere with the standard tail light.
Just sayin.

just a suggestion.  if you're running a brake light for the tail light, while you've got the whole fender assembly apart, run that same brake light wire to the turn signal area and cap it for future use.  when I S/V (super-valked) my I/S I had to run a wire for the same thing, then a year later I had to run a wire from my tail light to the rear turn signals for additional rear brake lights.....
