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!
