M61A1MECH Posted February 25, 2013 #1 Posted February 25, 2013 I have had a request from Valk rider to make an auxillary harness for his Valkyrie to hook up to a trailer, I found a wiring schematic for a standard Valk, it shows two connectors for the tail/brake/signal circuits. A 4 pin for the left and right turns and then a 3 pin for the tail/brake lights. I could use some help getting photos of the connectors so I can match them up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
deepforkriver Posted February 25, 2013 #2 Posted February 25, 2013 Hey m61. Ya we have a couple. In fact there is an entire wiring harness to a valk tourer hanging in my sons garage next door. In talking with him about ur request, he suggested u first try a forum he is a member of called valkyrieforum.com It can take a couple days for them to allow u a logon but u should find technical help there. If no help, feel free to PM me and we will help any way we can. Ride safe, James
M61A1MECH Posted February 25, 2013 Author #3 Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks, I just registered , I will check with them in a few days.
deepforkriver Posted February 25, 2013 #4 Posted February 25, 2013 Hey, If pictures will help, we can snap a few.... Let me know if we can help. James
M61A1MECH Posted February 25, 2013 Author #5 Posted February 25, 2013 Oh yeah photos of the connectors, front and back would be just the ticket. Thanks
deepforkriver Posted February 25, 2013 #6 Posted February 25, 2013 Ok Steve I just walked over and took a few, but I dont think they are going to be what your after. The first few pictures are from a valk interstate rear fender. The plug is going only to blinkers as interstate has tail light in trunk. If I remember from the standard, there are two of these, one for blinks one for tail. The next picture is of the wiring harness from a standard. I do not have the box plugs from it. But these plugs are what goes to the rear of the bike. Hope this helps some. James
M61A1MECH Posted February 25, 2013 Author #7 Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks does help a bit, I think this one is going to be a sticky one with the way Honda does their wiring, I was looking at a similar harness made by someone else that fits a Goldwing , it has wires going every where, I suspect the Valk harness is very similar the the GL harness. I can use the one picture to start trying to track down a source for that style. Thanks

M61A1MECH Posted February 25, 2013 Author #9 Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks, well that is interesting, I cannot compete with that price, but I wonder if it has all functions needed to take brake, tail and turns thru to the trailer, it looks like it only has 4 wires.

I'm not sure to be honest. The Valkyrie I had came with a trailer and had this type wiring on it. I never checked to see if it worked assumed it did. I sold the trailer and things related the day I bought it.
Lil D-Valk Posted March 10, 2013 #11 Posted March 10, 2013 Hi - I can't say I am mechanical. but, i know where to locate info. http://www.rattlebars.com/valkfaq/schematics/index.html http://www.valkyrienorway.com/ or come to the Valkyrie page and ask questions. http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/board,5.0.html Hope this helps!!
M61A1MECH Posted March 10, 2013 Author #12 Posted March 10, 2013 Thanks, the fellow that originally need the help has decided to take a different route so I will not be making a harness for him. Seems that Honda like to use single bullet style connectors for the tail lights, which could stiil be adapted if ione wanted to do so.
