Harley License Bracket Light Install

Installing Harley Davidson License Plate Bracket Light Kit

 

Submitted by Tartan Terror

 

Anyone owning a Royal Star Venture knows full well the lack of good lighting on the rear of this motorcycle. Although I have seen may good ideas I chose the Harley Davidson license plate bracket with the incorperated taillights. Harley Davidson’s part number for this item is 68230-97A or 68230-97B. Both will work well and the only difference is that the “B” part number has a full backing behind the Plate portion.

Step 1: Assemble the lamps onto the chrome bracket. The lamps are easily installed onto the frame and are held on by allen head bolts provided in the kit. You must also flatten the two raised nubs on the plate portion of the plate portion. After all assembled cut off the plug in connector as the Harley plug will not fit the RSV.

Step 2: Remove the License Plate from the Venture and gently pull out the wires inside the pod behind the removed plate. Find the Blue and Yellow wires inside the pod. Next connect the Blue wire on the Harley lights to the to the Blue wire on the RSV. After doing this connect the Red wire on the Harley lights to the Yellow wire on the RSV. I connected the wires using a male female type of connector so I could take the lights off easily for repair or cleaning if need be.

 

Note: If you test the lights after you have made these connections lights wont work. You must bolt the plate and lights to the bike to ground the lights!

Step 3: Tuck wires into the pod carefully and Bolt plate frame to bike. Test lights at this point and if all is good you are finished! Lights will operate as brake and running lights and will add lots of great light on the rear!

Good Job, I took the liberty to lighten the pic up a little to make it easier to see. I didn't know how to include it in the text like Freebird did but just attached it.

I also have the Harley lights and have replaced the standard bulbs with LEDs and Clear lenses.

That's exactly what I want to do with mine. Great minds think alike. LOL Great pic.

 

Anyone know where I can get a good price for this? I've found it at a couple places for $192.50. Is there a better price somewhere?
