Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with the Vulcan 750 left side controls. More specifically, the wiring. Kinda toying around the option of maybe doing hazard flashers with the LED upgrade. The Vulcan has this standard, (identical left side controls as us, + a flasher button; want to keep a stock look) just wondering how different the wiring harnesses are for the left side controls; if anyone knows, or has access to controls for both bikes. I'm thinking Kawasaki probably didn't change it up too much; it's probably the same harness(es) with the 2 additional wires instead of blank spaces in the harness connector(s).
Anyone ever tried this particular mod before?

The vn750 hazard switch has a Orange/green, Grey, Dark green. They would tie into the 454's turn signal switch wires colored Orange, Grey, Dark green.

Are the harness connectors the same?

Nope, the VN750 wiring changed a bit from year to year connector wise...but even the early 750 are a tad different than the 454. If you know the year that will help, narrow it down but to splice into the 454 harness. The early wiring connection colors are what I gave and the second colors where the colors to splice those into the 454 harness. Some of that may already happen at the terminal hard to say.
I am going by wiring diagrams and pictures of the controls...image search vn750 wiring diagram will pull up the diagram, and vn750 left control pulls up the images...as good as having them in your hands.

I have tried to pull up pics of the Vulcan left side wiring, to no luck. No good quality pictures. I've got 2 extra sets of left controls for the 454, so I might just cut the harness connector off and solder it to a set of Vulcan controls. And add weather-pak connectors for the hazards to add them to our harness. Not looking to simply add a switch and flasher, I'd rather it all look factory.

Agreed; soldering connections and heat shrinking them in is the way to go...rat nesting up the wiring is just a time bomb waiting to happen. I don't even want to think about the days before heat shrink tubing. Diagram; the colors are difficult alone, but using them and the color codes on the right clears them up. I suggest zooming in and out here with the ctrl+ function for what you want to see anytime you save a .jpg image, it degrades a little more each time. Although if you do save it; changing the extension from .jpg to .bmp preserves more of the original quality.  |

If worse comes to worse, I'll just sacrifice a set of 454 controls I have to the Vulcan controls (the harness connector), and I'll make my own circuit for the flashers using the switch that's already in the Vulcan controls, with a Weather-Pak. I'm already going to have to add a secondary Electronic Flasher as it is. I could wire in, and switch from our 2-prong flasher to a 3, but it's just as easy to add one, they aren't that expensive. |
