Title: Current gen taillight wiring/attachment Post by: Junkie on December 05, 2011, 02:24:06 PM I just picked up an aftermarket taillight for a 696/796/1100 that I'm going to be using on a project of mine (not a Monster) and could use some help with some things:
1) Any suggestions for where I could get the wiring harness side of the plug, or what it is called? 2) Which wires do what? Meaning: obviously one is ground, one is tail, one is brake - but which location is which? 3) What size fasteners hold the taillight to the tail? Thanks for any help. Title: Re: Current gen taillight wiring/attachment Post by: Junkie on December 06, 2011, 06:55:26 PM Ok, managed to figure out the wiring order, but not the connector. When looking straight back: tail, ground, brake
Also, for some reason the turn signals are reversed on the light I got (Volar) - meaning they actuate the turn signal on the side oposite where they connect. But: can anyone help with what connector I need to buy?

I need the plug that mates to the taillight. I've got a spare taillight connector for my bike, so I can easily make an adapter once I get the other plug. It's an SV650, I don't expect to find a retail part that does the whole adaptation - I just need the plug that I can attach wires to.

[thumbsup] The only plugs they have that they know are for lights don't look right, and at $10ish each with minimum quantity 5, I'd prefer not experimenting that way. Try here: http://www.mmcompsys.com/assets/Ducati%20wiring%20parts%20retail%20price%20list_01.pdf (http://www.mmcompsys.com/assets/Ducati%20wiring%20parts%20retail%20price%20list_01.pdf) They have a link to their EBay store as well: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/RMB-Performance-Electronics/Connectors-Wiring-parts-/_i.html?_fsub=287990619&_sid=52750099&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/RMB-Performance-Electronics/Connectors-Wiring-parts-/_i.html?_fsub=287990619&_sid=52750099&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322) If no luck there try Jim at easternbeaver.com or your local auto parts store. I checked some auto parts stores, nothing looked right. I just emailed Jim, hopefully he'll know what I need.

I may have to just use a few little individual plugs, I'd really prefer a single one though...
