Pathfinder and Goldstrike LIGHTSTRIKE.

Post by Mick1836 »



Hi I hope soon collect my new 2023 DCT Tour to replace my 2020 DCT Tour.

I’m going to fit on the new bike the Goldstrike LIGHTSTRIKE rear top box light which I had fitted to the 2020 bike, I’m also at the same time fitting the Goldstrike Luggage rack with LIGHTSTRIKE tail light, along with both these items I purchased the Goldstrike 48000 plug n play wiring kit.
No problem so far.

Now here’s the question, I’ve noticed and like the look of the Pathfinder Cowl Lights with DRL & Sequential turn signals.

Is there a wiring kit that allows a Pathfinder item to connect to the Goldstrike 48000 plug play kit?

Thanks from Mick in 🇬🇧

I have not done this myself but from what I have seen, Goldstrike, Pathfinder, et.al., are all using different connectors that match their own Plug n' Play interface harness. Electrical Connection sells harnesses and adapters to be able to use multiple brands at the same time:

https://electricalconnection.com/index. ... harnesses/

https://electricalconnection.com/index. ... -adapters/

https://electricalconnection.com/index. ... ion-block/

Hi Andy, many thanks for that most useful posting it’s just what I was looking for 👍 only problem now if I do choose to buy a set of Pathfinder cowl lights is finding a company that will ship them out to the UK🇬🇧
It appears that Goldwing Store.com are the main Pathfinder distributors and I have contacted them and they only ship to USA, Canada, Australia and NewZealand ☹️☹️☹️

Unless someone else can suggest a Pathfinder distributor???

Cyclemax sells Pathfinder and Electrical Connection. For a time, they were not shipping overseas but that has changed (I think). Send them an e-mail:

Hi Again Andy, sorry about this bit confused.

Ok on your previous post you list 3 companies that sell adapters ,harnesses and distribution blocks, I think ?? the one I need to look at is the adapter address?

Ok visited this address to see adapters for Kuryakyn,Goldstrike and Pathfinder.

So if I’ve got Goldstrike Carrier with LIGHTSTRIKE lights and rear Goldstrike top box light also with LIGHTSTRIKE connected into the bike via a Goldstrike 48000 plug play kit and I want to add the Pathfinder Cowl lights which adapter do I buy?
Very confused, I can see the picture with the 3 adapters and presume one end of each adapter is for each company but what about the other end that’s what I find confusing?

I am also not certain the correct course of action for you. I think your best choice is send this exact question to Electrical Connection Customer service. I'll tell you in advance, they are often slow in responding to e-mails and may need a reminder or two. Once you determine what to order, send an e-mail to Cyclemax. Even if they don't have in stock, they will get it, sell it to you (usually for less than retail) and package with the Pathfinder lights for shipment.
