Maybe this is a stupid question but are there any easier alternatives to lifting the tank and depinning the connectors if I want to swap out the bars on my WG?

 

Sure. Just take off the left and right controls and let them hang. Swap out bars. Now, it all depends on how much bigger or smaller your new bars are as to whether you have to re-wire. Personally, I like to run the wiring in the bars. Really cleans things up.
