Through Wire
NOTE:
Grounding is through the front fork.
Note, Light Bar Wiring Helpful Hints:
The
long RED
wire is the main power wire for the spotlights on
the light bar. Connect that to the main power source from the
headlight. Either the High Beam wire or the Low Beam wire.
The choice is your preference. Turn on bike and Check.
The Light Bar attached to the front fork of the motorcycle serves
as the ground in most cases. A precautionary step to insure
proper grounding is to take one of the Ground wires from the
existing turn signals and ground that between the Light Bar
Mount and the Triple Tree Bracket.
Always start by doing one side at a time. Preferably the right
side or high side of the bike first.
