Got her torn apart installing a FE. The stock turn signal wire colors are brown/black for left and green/black for right. Which is + and which is ground? Is black ground? Thanks.....

Have not done the FE kit, so take this with a grain of salt.... But, most of the time I have dealt with 12v, black is negative/ground/common...
Hope that helps. Might want a second opinion but i am 99% sure black is it. Most turn signals, unless you have polarized LEDs, will work if you have it flipped anyway.
By the way, which FE did you get?

Black is ground.

The service manual shows black common to all the signals. So, I'd say it's ground.

Thanks guys! I wired with black as ground. Since the signals worked either way and I have no electrical experience, I was stumped.
I got the Competition Werkes FE. A little more expensive, but I saw a pic of it between some Givi bags, and wanted to be sure it would go between my new Shad bags. I even emailed them and they indicated the overall width is 12" "in order to keep 9" spacing between the bulbs"--must be a rule? Fits fine, and is actually a couple inches narrower then it needs to be, but that should help somewhat with visibility between the bags. I'll post pics soon.

Get a cheap multimeter.. You will have it for ever and use it way more often than you think.. I still have the same one I bought 13 years ago and its the perfect tool for things that pop up like this...
