Looking for an electrical genius

Ok. According to the Goldwing wiring diagram:


Each solid color wire on each side is a signal input.
Each striped wire is a running light signal.
Green is of course ground (like on most Hondas)

They connect to a single terminal on the bulb and each wire has a diode. Meaning the bulb is getting X amount of voltage from the running light all the time and then X amount of voltage from the signal wire when the blinker is activated. The diode keeps the electricity only flowing in one direction (which is of course toward the bulb so it doesn't feedback into system).


Without seeing a diagram of the Valkyrie, I would wager it uses the same setup. Trace that orange and light blue wire back as far as I can and find the split where to two wires come together. That would be my guess as to how they wired that system. Of course I was completely unable to find a wiring diagram of the new Valkyrie........


If someone on the forum has a service manual for them and can scan (and email in secret) a picture of the wiring diagram then I can 100% tell you for sure how it goes.

mrtappan, thanks for the help. Actually, the wiring on the Valkyrie is different. There is only a single solid color wire and a ground going to each turn signal, perhaps because the Valk employs LED lights, not sure.

These fog lights have white LED DRLs and yellow LED turn signals. The DRLs are wired with a WHITE wire and the turn signals with a YELLOW wire. This is no problem on the Goldwing because there are two different wires, one for the running light and one for the turn signal (as you mentioned in your post).

On the Goldwing/or F6B, the white DRLs remain on all the time. When the turn signals are engaged, the white DRLs go off and the yellow LED turn signals flash (on the side receiving the turn signals).

As a hack (until we come up with a solution), we wired the white DRL wire into the only wire available on the Valk. We left the YELLOW turn signal wire unattached. My thinking was, it was better to have the white DRLs functioning. Problem is, when the turn signals are engaged, the white DRLs flash because they are basically working just like the LED turn signals on the bike.

Another issue that I noticed was the white DRLs do not seem as bright on the Valk as on my Goldwing. Perhaps there is not as much voltage coming from the turn signal wires on the valk (again, because it is an LED) to drive these white DRLs.

My gut instinct says we need to wire the DRLs directly to the battery to give them enough power to be as bright as they need to be. Then, not sure where to tap into for the fog light turn signals. It has to be a source that is OFF until the signals are engaged, then flashes ON when the turn signals are engaged. Even then, I will have to check with SoCal to see what they will do to the white DRLs, but I suspect they can handle that.

Thanks for any help.
