Don't seem to be able to find a schematic, but welcome to the HDT forum, Steve07 should be a good mentor...if you need some good advice. Here is a place where they have some exploded diagrams that could help...when you do a bit of dismanteling until you find a manual:

Thanks for all the help. Oh and I ride the '05 and work on the '85.

Now Chopper, that's EXACTLY what I'm talking about. That looks much better than what I have to work with. Thanks
I can't really say the exact problem yet, there are some things that need to be worked out. One of the issues is that I have no signals. When the flasher is installed the lights come on very slow and dim, when i remove the flasher and connect the wires direct there is a bright signal. The flasher is new and I even tried another, so I am lead to believe that it is somewhere in the wires! And I just want to have some reassurance that all the wires are in the right place before I cut em and install new connectors.

Funky,
I would start by making absolutely sure the correct bulb number is installed in each socket. The bulb load or current draw needs to be correct for the flasher to flash at the correct rate.. While your in there, I would clean the sockets and spray some "Deoxit 5" in each socket.. Deoxit would be great on any quick disconnect cable plugs also.
At that point see what happens with the flash rate of the turn signals.
