*STEP by STEP* '13 BOB Handlebar Swap
Thank you JMiers for the bars so I could write up this review!
Well for all you wondering what its like to change out internal wired bars, have no fear. I just did a complete bar swap and needed nothing more than a couple hand tools. No wire cutting needed, Harley down sized the connectors and they go right through the bars!!! Took about 2hrs with all the picture taking and beers. Enjoy
Tools needed, these which includes a T25 Torx and 1/4" allen.
1. First setup your bars you are going to swap over. I used some string and couple nuts to help weight it down. Just slide it through the openings and give it a couple shakes. Goes right through
2. Pull frame plugs that cover the wires in the frame and work them out slowly, don't tug or pull or too hard, they are just tucked in there..
3. No need to take off the mirrors, turn signals, levers, clutch cable, throttle calbes etc. Leave it all attached, just remove the t25 torx screws that hold the assembly's together and slide them off the handle bars.

be careful and keep master cylinder upright.
finish sliding off the hand controls as a whole
next i used a big flat blade to dislodge the grip, go around in like 4 diff spots like a clock.
naked bars!!
Remove top clamp and swap bars over, make sure to put a towel on the tank to prevent dings
center bars using the internal wiring hole and even it out between the clamps
Next up, attach wiring harness with a small zip ty and cover with electric tape to ease sliding through the bars. Pull it through and Vawlaa!!
