Answer
Gee,This may be one of those beats the heck out of me problems but here goes. The front turn signals have two wires obvious 1 power and 1 ground. On a lot of the Honda bikes the grounds were the same color.If you have a test light turn on the turn signal and test the two wires to each side and it should show you which is the power wire.If you need to pull the lens off the existing light see if you can see the wire connected to the bulb mount and that should be the ground.That may be your clue as to which color they are using as the ground inside the fairing.
