2005 rocket iii
Will be pulling a time out camper with my 05 rocket. Time out has a flat four plug. Can I purchase a flat four plug at auto store and tap into wiring on right side of bike or will I need relay or special kit? I've searched forum and haven't been able to find exact answer. I appreciate the help. I plan on using some tapping clips vs cutting and splicing. Steve
 
I have a trailer and wiring on my bike, you need the electronic converter,otherwise it will not work,I learned this the hard way.. you can get this in any auto parts store.
Heres a picture of what you need. https://www.google.ca/search?q=reese wire converter&tbm=isch&imgil=GxcZDcIEbMat2M:;https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQajrD4mLVJcqfyp0tdGrH8Fh2HxTk8YQkcPckTKpw-LWJYjG4C7A;287;191;P8HJuyDtQnuV7M;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cequentconsumerproducts.com%2FProducts%2FConverters-Reese-Towpower&source=iu&usg=__rz-71bS9YYbIh7g9EjSGOOyajNI=&sa=X&ei=3pJzU86GPObR8AHLpICYCg&ved=0CF0Q9QEwBg&biw=884&bih=514#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=GxcZDcIEbMat2M:;P8HJuyDtQnuV7M;http://www.cequentconsumerproducts.com/Products/images/converter-1.jpg;http://www.cequentconsumerproducts.com/Products/Converters-Reese-Towpower;287;191

Or this, it does not matter...http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Pole-to-4...necter-Kit-Harness-Towing-Wires-/121341443996
 
The Rivco one is way overpriced at $70 ,They all do the same job . The one on Ebay is $17 and is just as good.
You may get it cheaper at an auto parts place , and pick up the connectors you need for about $2.
I am sure Harbourfreight has the electronic connector too.
 
True but it has separate power feed and five mini relays to completely isolate the bike wiring from the trailer...

Buddy did the $17 auto store setup... 6 months later he had to replace the rear wiring harness on his Goldwing.
