Front fork terminal board

#1

Post by Captain80 »

Hey guys, have a 1960 flh, doing a complete resto. Curious about why the front fork terminal board shows a yellow wire running to #25 and a red wire running to # 10 on this board. Seems like they just end there and make no complete circuit? Confused as always! Any help? Captain80

Captain80, can I piggyback a question along with yours? I'd like to know what style screws are used to attach the terminal board to the fork brackets. I can't find them in the parts book. I know the size and pitch, but what style head are they, just plain round head?

Captain80 and Big Incher.
The terminal board has several wires run to it for purposes of optional accessories and extra equipment, don't worry that "nothing" is connected to them. They came stock that way. The fasteners are fillister head to the fork brackets.
