Without going into too much detail, I would like to know if there is a female adapter for the main connector that plugs into the radio. I know that Scosche and Metra make all different configurations. The main harness is a white 18 pin connector. It is a two row setup with 2 notches in the bottom and the 2 top corners ar angled. Here is the configuration but it is not drawn to scale: http://www.gwrra-mi.org/chapter/B/Library/Honda%20Goldwing%20GL1500%20Radio%20External%20Wiring%20Diagram.pdf

I am trying to keep from hacking into the main harness. I want to keep the factory wiring intact. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful.

I was just troubleshooting my handle bar channel changer this weekend. I can tell you don't trust the aftermarker books for wiring diagrams. The pin # identifiers do not match nor do the color codes of where they should be. The color codes are correct but the placement are not. Just pull off the switch you are looking at and use a meter to find it on the plug. Good luck...

Just like cutting wood, check twice before cutting. Check pin location in book to actual pin location on bike as well as colors. I had to use a meter to verify, I am pretty good with shooting wires so it was not hard for me. Once again, good luck shooting.
