-The original wiring diagrams do not have Pin# identificaitons. So in this description we will identify pin numbers for the internal connector (mounted to the headlight housing) starting with the Orange wires and looking at the connector from the backside, where the wires are inserted. ​We will call these four Orange wires Pin#1-follwed ​by the two Blue wires as Pin#5-6, naming them from left to right. The row of wires below that will be numbered Pin#7-12. To be clear, the Pin#1 is Top Left.+The original wiring diagrams do not have Pin# identificaitons.

-In 1991, a Turn Signal Canceller Module (TSM) was introduced on the Sportster. This allowed pulses from the Speeodmeter to cancel the flashing turn signals (not wired thru this 12-pin connector). This TSM now took over the function of the simple automobile-type flasher that was used previously. The new TSM did not route the active TS power signals thru the Turn Signal Switches (as previously) but rather, it simply obtained a low-current pulse from the momentary TS handlebar switches to start or stop the flashing function within the TSM. When flashing was needed, the TSM grounded one wire of the Turn Signal bulb in order to flash the Turn Signal. This new TSM also allowed the use of 4-way flashers.+In 1991, a Turn Signal Canceller Module (TSM) was introduced on the Sportster.

 This housing, although it has an earlier -75 suffix, superceded the original version which was P/N 67743-84. The -84 version used a Speedometer Cable Retainer, P/N 56073-83. It is believed that the -75 version (used before & later superceding the -84 version) does not use this retainer. The -84 version was stock from 1984 thru 1993 and sometime later the 67743-75 version superceded it for replacement parts. Likely, they didn't want to make one version with the retainer & one without it. This housing, although it has an earlier -75 suffix, superceded the original version which was P/N 67743-84.
