@Willsmotorcycle, I think in your picture of the left side of the bike there is a mistake. You show an arrow pointing to a connector next to the big plastic boot covered connector in the harness. I don't think that is the OEM quartet harness 9 pin connector. The Q-harness 9 pin is dangling near the left fork leg's triple clamp. IIRC, the factory wiring for this was not long enough to reach the boot covered 20+ pin connector.
Anyone ever install a quad-lock hard wired charging head?

You are correct sir, that is a picture that does not have a quartet installed.

Hey folks. I bought an oxford fuse box to install, and it needs to be tapped into switched power, so I have opened up the back of the bike to hook to the "brown" wire on the taillight. But when I open the bike I see something different than the wiring diagram or the videos I have been able to find. Can you folks look at these two pictures and advise what this new red wiring block is?
NOTE - I was looking to tap into the brown wire in the tail light bundle circled on the screen.

Service check connector.
Used for testing PGM-FI
Not a suitable power tap

Thanks.
Anyone have advice on how to remove/move the computer strap to get at the taillight brown wire under/behind it?
I've tried wiggling the strap and it does not want to move.
If you really want to get to the tail light drop the fender under the tail light got to remove both saddlebags or use this for a tapped ignition on power tap.

I finally got the strap loose, but now the wiring bundle leading back to the tail lights doesn't seem to have a "brown" wire, only 2 "Black with a brown stripe" wires (indicated?)
@Mellow - I have the bags off anyway so I will look for the ABS "ACC" tap point you mention....

Just to be sure @Mellow - my bike is a 2008 w/ABS....so it is the green and red wire to tap that goes into the thin fuse box? As you have tapped below? Sorry to pester, I am just worried about wrecking the bike.
Yes, the pic was from my 2008 abs bike.

Mission accomplished. Fuse box installed and linked to switched power, quad-lock charging head installed and working correctly. Thanks for all the pointers folks.
