Can someone give me a link to the proper wire i need to hook up my bike. I have a 2014 R3T
Cable is the same regardless of year, it's a standardized plug I think. The only one I know off hand that's considered 100% safe is the one from http://lonelec.co.uk/ - they were quite fast getting it to me, but I'm also in Europe. There is a 5-star review from a guy in New York on the site so should work for the US as well.
The cable isn't just a cable, it has a computer in it (essentially) that translates between the bike and the PC, so it has to have a specific chipset made by FTDi. So, since the Lonelec cable is known good I'd recommend it. You can also get a cable off Amazon but without the right functioning it can potentially worst case do damage - at the very least make sure it has the FTDi chip in it.
Here's an example of what not to buy, a cheapo chinese one with the wrong chipset:
This, however, might be good:
