I have attached a PDF file of the 83's wiring with the Audio power plug highlighted with a red 'cloud'.

 

Your radio will probably have two power inputs.

 

One will be a constant 12VDC source, this one is to keep clock & memory working.

 

2nd will be a switched 12VDC source. This one turns radio on & off with key.

 

Inside the 'cloud' in the PDF file is the schematic of the connector that I posted picture above. You will need to remove the headlight to find this connector, or you may see it under the left fairing cover where I showed radio

 

The Red/Blue wire at this connector is the constant 12VDC.

 

The Red wire is the switched 12VDC.

 

The Black wire is ground.

 

Cut the connector off & wire a fuse into each of the 12V sources. The size of these fuses will be shown in Radio instructions if you have them.

 

You will add the fuses per above comment that are shown inside 'cloud' in PDF file.

If Dingey,s schematic don't help. and you need a nother pair of eyes call me, by chance we may can work out something. I looked at your profile and didn't see no number or I would call you. 817-201-0719 is mine. I may have a half a day free this weekend. Got the Stock Show and work and my Daughter home from Afganistan on mid tour but mabee can squeeze in a half a day. You gotta come to my place though. Im right at a hundred mile west of Dallas proper.
