Now that I read some of these comments, I agree. Hence my first question, does everybody even wrap the harness? Most videos I see on the net show unwrapped wiring going in. My bars came prewired and unwrapped, didn't think it was a good idea. Thanks for all the comments guys!

 

I wrap the wires in electrical tape then heat shrink over that. In some cases I will use Gorilla Duct Tape over the heat shrink but that may stiffen it a little too much for your bars. The Duct tape does make it slide a lil easier though.

Do you guys see any issues leaving the pins on my wires while pulling through?

 

...just finished pulling wires on 12" Mayhem Bagger Bars w/ connector pins
- wiring was heat shrink wrapped - spaced pins out and wrapped with elect. tape before shrink wrap on pin area - pulled with parachute cord and used Dielectric Grease for lube
--was really surprised that the plug-in-play TBW (green-plug) wire went threw without a hitch - lucky I guess

 

I put on 10 in. wild ones on my 14 sgs used a chain no coating or lube
cut a wire in half
repaired wire used the same process took more time did not push or pull as hard
so far all is well

 

I did the Yaffe bars on my Street Glide but they don't have the sharp angle on the lower end like yours. Anyway, I used shrink wrap when I did mine. That stuff you are using looks like it would tend to hang up on the corners.

 

Leave the pins on the wires but cover them with shrink wrap. Cut the wrap back once you get the wires through.

 

A little update, I got some 5/8" vinyl tubing and pulled it through the bars then ran the wiring through that. The soft tubing went in like butter and so did the wiring. This was not only easy, but it will protect the wires from getting nicked on the edges. Just finished one side, now headed to the next side. Thanks for all the other ideas

 

Hmmm, you may be on to something. Sounds like it worked well. I like the idea of creating a smooth wire way with the vinyl. Might try this on the next set I wire, either for myself or any of my buddies. Got some specs/info on the vinyl tubing?

 

I used shrink wrap as well .....Harbor Freight is good source BTW. Ideal Clearglide is made for running electrical wires thru conduit and worked great available at Lowes. I did basically the Yaffe method. Making a loop on end tip of shrink wrap and thread welding wire like fish hook. Used lots of Clearglide it basically evaporates so leaves no mess. And the push/pull is key to run.
