LED tail light connector - shahyaan_imp - 11-27-2020
Hiya
I want to change up the rear of the bike and am looking at a new LED rail light. I however either need a bullet connector to OEM harness or the connector itself so that I can make the connection direct to the OEM harness. Any suggestions?

I get connectors here: http://www.cycleterminal.com/hm-sealed-series-090.html
If you don’t see the one you need, ask them.
Revzilla has some premade that can maybe be used.

That’s perfect thanks. I’ll measure the connector and hopefully it’s the right one. Can’t be too difficult can it?

That particular connector is hard to find, as it has 3 wires crimped to terminals in a very narrow connector. I have seen similar sized in some front turn signals of different brands, but you likely will have to cut the stock taillight wires.
At least you can buy the stock wire and bulb socket if needed.

I cut off the OEM connector from the tail light and then connected it to the LED taillight wires with bullet connectors.
Yes, I know I might want to use the OEM headlight at some point in future, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there

I wanted to avoid cutting in case I want to revert back. Trying not to mod too much. Also it’s the LED unit on the RS unfortunately it’s the whole unit.

Just trying to avoid cutting. But I can’t see those connectors here in the UK. Cutting may have to be the way or will see if I can get a second had tail light.

If you bought the 2014 taillight socket and wire, you could cut it instead of your LED light.

This guy might be able to sort you out. He would be quite well referenced in the Africa Twin forums.

I’ll check this out as well. I need to get to the connector to grab some measurements. The picture above was from online.
Do the connectors sit behind the side covers?

No. The are in a boot that is located in the battery compartment. Remove the tool box and look behind the battery on the left side. It hangs by the vertical frame rail. The red accessory connector is in there too. Kind of a pain to mess with.
