Wiring harnesses for the Moto Guzzi V85 TT: 2024 and later models

Plug-in-ready, relay-equipped harness for adding auxiliary lights to the Moto Guzzi V85 TT

APPLICABLE TO 2024 AND LATER MODELS WITH THE 3-PIN CONNECTOR LOCATED BENEATH THE COVER BETWEEN THE HEADLIGHT AND DASH PANEL - CHECK WHICH ONE YOU HAVE BEFORE ORDERING

Easily add aftermarket lights to the V85 TT. Plugs directly into the existing OEM Moto Guzzi wiring harness. Operates with the OEM handlebar switch. Extra long wire leads to support various routing and light placement options (1000 mm). Sealed relay. Includes terminals to make connections to auxiliary spot lights, LED lights, etc.

Note: Power to the spot lights flows through the existing Moto Guzzi wiring harness - just like Moto Guzzi did with the OEM auxillary lights.

Installation instructions

1. Remove the cover that fits between the headlight and the dash.
2. Identify the 3-pin connector that is not currently connected to a mating 3-pin connector. It may be zip-tied and tucked away.
3. Connect the 3-pin plug on the new harness to the OEM Moto Guzzi 3-pin connector.
4. Route the two pairs of red and black wire extensions; one pair will go to each light.
5. Fit the relay and associated wiring under the cover and replace the cover.
6. Make the wire connections at each light with the provided bullet terminals.
   • Black to ground/earth.
   • Red to power.
   • Feel free to cut the sheathing and wiring to the length needed.

Plug-in-ready, relay-equipped harness for adding auxiliary lights to the Moto Guzzi V85 TT

APPLICABLE TO 2024 AND LATER MODELS WITH THE 3-PIN CONNECTOR LOCATED BENEATH THE COVER BETWEEN THE HEADLIGHT AND DASH PANEL - CHECK WHICH ONE YOU HAVE BEFORE ORDERING

This version runs power directly from the battery, light operation still controlled by the Guzzi handlebar switch. Easily add aftermarket lights to the V85 TT. Plugs directly into the existing OEM Moto Guzzi wiring harness. Operates with the OEM handlebar switch. Extra long wire leads to support various routing and light placement options (1000 mm). Sealed relay. Includes terminals to make connections to auxiliary spot lights, LED lights, etc.

Note: Power to the spot lights flows direcly from the battery. Only the handlebar switch signal wire passes through the existing Moto Guzzi wiring harness. This is preferred if you are planning to operate high amperage auxilarly lights.
