INSTALLATION ON FLHTCUTG OR FLHXXX
NOTE:
The following Steps show our recommended installation area. You may
chose a different area (higher on the body) depending on the options
on
your
model.
STEP 2
Thoroughly clean the back of the Trike from the body line below the trunk to
the area behind the bumper (PIC 1) with soapy water and a clean rag. Dry
completely. Wipe the area with the included alcohol pads to remove any
residue. Let dry completely.
Ensure the area of installation is free of grease,
oil, dirt or other debris including wax/polish
products and bugs to ensure proper adhesion.
Küryakyn WILL NOT issue a warranty on any
parts lost due to improper installation.
STEP 3
With the wire harness end of the Light Strip, start on the
left
(sitting
on
Trike)
side and test fit the Run-Brake Strip
to the mounting area. The Strip will follow the body line
just below the trunk door. PIC 1 Make any reference marks
with masking tape or a non-permanent marker.
NOTE:
It may be helpful to use masking tape to temporarily hold the
Run-Brake Light Strip in place for the test fit.
NOTE:
Examine the light carefully. As shown in PIC 2, notice the markings on
the light specifying the place to cut the light. If you need to shorten the
light for your application, always make your cut from the end of the
light opposite the wire harness. Use silicone to help seal the cut end.
The adhesive will not bond correctly if applied at temperatures less
than 50°F. Do not attempt this installation in temperatures less
than 50°F.
STEP 4
Once you are satisfied with the placement of the Run-Brake Light Strip, remove
the Strip from the Trike. Starting at the left (wire harness) side of the Strip, rub
the backing of the adhesive with your fingernail and start to peel the backing
about two inches back from the end of the Strip. Using the reference marks
made in Step 3, attach this end to the Trike body. PIC 3 Slowly work your way
to the right end of the Strip, rubbing and peeling the backing a little at a time,
following your reference marks, until the right end is attached to the Trike.
PIC 4 Press and rub firmly along the Strip for one minute. Full bonding will occur
in
24
hours.
Küryakyn recommends the use of dielectric grease on electrical
connections.
STEP 5
Remove the seat and locate the 8-pin connector from the main harness to the
run-turn–brake controller. PIC 5 This is the input side of the controller, PIC 5,
and the 8-pin connector will have a RED wire with a YELLOW stripe. It should
be located on the left side under the passenger handrail. Disconnect the wiring
harness and plug the sub-harness into the ends of the main taillight harness.
Always install the Light Bar Harness upstream (before) any
existing multifunction control modules. Do not install the
Run-Brake Strip Light Harness between a module and the
turn signals, as this will overload the module. Overloading
will damage the module and may create a fire hazard!
