Just got it firing!
I'm having problem installing new LED turn signals for my v7. Should I remove the stock harness or just wire them? I have no clue and know nothing bout wiring but willing to learn.

Go to the downloads there is a schematic for your bike. If you can't figure it out, take it to MPH in Houston. https://mphcycles.com/

Could I diplomatically suggest that if you really don't know what you are doing when it comes to wiring, you leave it to someone who does. In the long term you will be helping yourself as it's almost certainly not a straight swap.
Remove the turn signal and if you have room to cut the wiring, then it should be fine to cut the wiring then install a new connector that is the same as the one on the new LED turn signal. You may need to install resistor(s) between the new LED signal and the bike's wiring, so don't make anything permanent after checking the result is what you need.
I hate to cut factory wiring. That is always a last resort. If possible get the correct connectors for the new signals.
You would hope that accessories made for a bike would have the right connectors, but...
Cut, solder connector, heat shrink tube.
NO electrical tape
!There was a thread about getting a new Flasher for LED conversions - here somewhere.
Instead of using Resistors to balance the circuit.

No flasher in these bikes. Turn signals controlled by the dash. Also if you must cut, then cut the turn signal leads and splice as suggested, not the harness.
"new turn signals" means bulbs only or complete assemblies? If complete assemblies, mounted in stock locations or new locations? If new locations, how will the stock locations be blocked off?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure if you remove the lens and then the reflector from the stock assembly, you will find spade connectors are used, 2.8mm as I recall. Using matching connectors (https://www.amazon.com/Glarks-Connector-Terminal-Insulating-Assortment/dp/B07FCFH84Q) extend the wires as needed. Blue is normally Ground (not Light or Sky Blue).
