Didn't need to extend anything but l did use Namz extensions so l could leave everything in it's place.





They look great!

Mine were a pain. I helped a friend earier this week install a set of 10" monkey bars on his 2015 SGS and the wires practically fell through the tubes.

Thnx
Hey the trimmimg was no biggie. I used a pipe cutter but a saw would work good too. Im not sure what you mean by TGS, im drawing a blank but i used wire extensions cause they were only 25 bucks, but they were not needed. I did not use bushings cause harley used poly bushings already. At least thats what was in mine when i got to them.

Sorry for the confusion. The black one's are the Chubby's. I was showing stock vs. Wild One's.

TGS=twist grip sensor, throttle, drive by wire.

Those look great. I did a set of those on a friends bike and i agree, getting the plus and heated grips was a serious pain.

They are a real pain. I would spend the money and get the CVO control wire that eliminates the green plug. Mine went right in cause the chubby's have a nice radius.
