I'm changing the headlight on my bike & when I was taking it apart & I saw an extra wiring plug with two wires that plugs into what looks like a dead end socket on the back of the bracket that holds the headlight.

I'm just curious if anyone knows what that extra plug is for?

It's an accessories plug and it goes to that extra switch on the throttle side

What extra switch would that be? I dont recall an extra switch on the throttle housing. Also is this a keyed or hot wire?

I also noticed 2 of these extra wires tucked away behind the back light harness. Wondered what accessory used them?

Raiders have a additional switch below the kill switch that controls that plug for running lights etc....I just assumed the Strykers did too

No extra switch. looking at the wiring diagram. Its powered off the power side of the headlamp switch and power comes from the headlamp relay. the wires are nubered 58 on the diagram. It should have power when ever the head lamp is on. low or high beam.

I don't see switches on there. There is a "select" and a "reset" for the digital read out on the speedometer. I wonder if the wire is for the "passing lights" they offer.

I think that wire is for a light bar. I just ordered the cobra light bar and reading the pdf file i thought it mentioned that wire. Hoping the light bar will fit with my fairing.

I broke the plug that goes to this wire & had to order a new one since my check engine light came on. It's actually an air temp sensor

That's a different plug. This is the one they are talking about.....#58 on the wiring diagram.

That could be used for a light bar though. It has power only when running (same as the headlight). I just used it to wire up my GPS. I would just double check the wire size against the amperage draw of the lights to make sure it's adequate.

OSXFreak also mentioned a spare plug on the rear duckbill. I noticed that this weekend as I hacked away on it.

Is the rear plug also for some type of plug/play accessory?

Sorry for somewhat hijacking your thread...remove my post if you'd like.


Thanks,
