The Rear Fender Turn Signal Harness is an essential OEM electrical component designed to restore proper functionality to the rear turn signals on your Big Dog Motorcycle. Over years of exposure to road debris, vibration, and weather, wiring in the rear fender area can become brittle, frayed, or corroded. This factory-engineered harness provides the correct connectors, wire lengths, and protective insulation needed to ensure reliable signal operation and long-term durability.
Because this harness is manufactured to Big Dog’s original specifications, installation is clean and straightforward. No splicing or modification is required—the connectors mate perfectly with the factory turn signal assemblies and main wiring harness. Riders who experience dimming signals, intermittent blinking, or total signal failure often find the root cause in worn or damaged rear fender wiring. Replacing the compromised harness with this OEM unit restores proper continuity and keeps your motorcycle road-safe and compliant.
Using genuine Big Dog Motorcycle Parts ensures the electrical integrity of your bike stays consistent with factory standards. Aftermarket wiring options often lack proper shielding or connector precision, which can lead to resistance issues, poor connections, or premature failure. This harness maintains the correct routing and strain-relief points originally designed by Big Dog, helping protect the wiring from rubbing, pinching, or moisture intrusion.
When installing the harness, riders should check all terminal contacts, verify tight connector engagement, and follow the factory wire path through the rear fender for optimal protection. Many owners choose to refresh this harness during fender replacement, lighting upgrades, or routine electrical service to prevent future issues.
