red 12v wire for dyna s 78 gs100

[Guest]

it says to find where the two orange/white wires coming from the coil meet but the two wires go into a group of taped up wires so my question is where can i use the splice connector for the red 12 v wire

If you put it near the fuses, it will be BEFORE the 'kill' switch.
It is safer to put it closer to the coils, so it will also die when you hit the 'kill' switch.

Anywhere on either of the orange/white wires to the coils will work, just find a spot that's convenient and it's after the kill switch as mentioned. Personally I stay away from those splice connectors and usually solder in a tap wire and connector. Some people use them with success but have had on occasion had to troubleshoot other peoples electrical problems to faulty/poor mechanical splice connects. If you don't mind opening a can of worms, check that you have somewhat close to 12V on that wire.

ok thanks ill take it off of that one behind the battery and put it on one of the wires going to a coil
the way the instructions read was that it needed to go after the 2 coil wires met

The red 12V wire on the Dyna S wants to be connected to SWITCHED 12V power. Look at your coil connectors and splice into one of them. There are two connectors; one for each coil and one of the wires is O/W. Use one of these and DO NOT use the splice connector but solder it in. The splice connectors are generally problematic and do not make for a solid connection.
