Title: Wiring Identification
Post by: PNTdickson on April 17, 2017, 09:11:17 AM

Have run into another snag while converting my 1985 RT to a base or standard (naked) version.  I have been able to isolate where the wiring connections are.  I suspect that these wires connected close to, or near the full fairing.  See picture attached - I simply cannot solve.  Appreciate any ideas about the proper mating of the pictured wires.  Thanks.

Looks like non OEM to me.

That looks a lot like the radio harness I ripped out of my K1100lt recently.

thats a patch cord that runs the audio alert and the visual heads up display on the old hornet 12v deer whistle...

From The Hornet ad copy:
The reason The Hornet works so well on deer is they have acute hearing and are very skittish animals with a strong sense of survival.  When you are approaching deer with your vehicle, they will react to The Hornet by lifting their head to determine if they are being threatened.  As your vehicle is moving towards the deer, they will normally run for safety.

They do have a strong sense of survival. The problem is that many have a lousy sense of direction when running for safety and others are so depressed that their endless routine of grazing, mating, and dodging projectiles interferes with finding a rewarding career path, they choose suicide. Some are just plain angry.

The first thing I thought when I saw it was also the radio harness.

Thanks very much, guys.  Although, the deer whistle was not an option that I had considered.  Very interesting.  Will check the radio wiring.  Thanks again.  Paul

I've got an extra dash panel that I don't need that I bought only for the gauges in it.  If you're interested let me know.  The only problem is that it's at my other house.  I won't be back there until May.
