Hello: I just purchased a international tail lamp & turn signal rear light bar led for a fltrx road glide custom 2011. I am trying to use it on a domestic 2005 flhtci. I Don't have a wiring schematic for the international light bar, need some help. Thanks will be posting pics of the unit soon

Wow thank you 14 GuineaPig, that is exactly what i was in need of. My local HD dealer wasn't even able to come up with. Thanks again

Keep in mind, to make it work, you may need to modify some of the HDI ( international ) connections elsewhere on the bike, up to and including the ignition switch.  Not saying I know you will, but having looked at Schematics long enough to go batty, I seem to recall differences upstream from the taillight itself that may require other changes.

Thanks for your input Rags 722, after reading it I think I will skip putting the lite bar on my bike.

Not trying to turn you off to your project.  You just may want to do a little more checking to see if you need anything like a HDI ignition switch or HDI main or accessory wiring harness.  Might not need a thing, but just check it out in advance.

I think it needs a facial converter module also. I think I will go the easier route and install a light bar from a newer domestic bike. That for your input.

My 04 Road Glide had the international marker light wiring in the fairing, I just put a small square of duct tape over the marker light terminal on the turn signal bulb as they are illegal in Europe.
