Default This just sucks - any ideas?

My wire extensions came in today for my Vindikata bars. Started to run them internal and the damn extension broke inside the bar. I got the wire set out but the extension is stuck inside the bar and I am out of ideas to get them out.

Any ideas before I call a local shop tomorrow and see if they can do something.
tried fishing out with a wire coat hanger but that failed. Really frustrated at the moment - I have a big benifit this weekend for a friend to pass and I wanted to take the SGS. I guess I can take the dyna but damn I am getting tired of looking at it on the stand!!!

Thanks

Jamie

Maybe post in the regular touring or softail sections. They get more traffic. Did you try spraying real good with WD-40 before the coat hanger? Sorry I don't have a good answer.

Try plugging up all but two holes and sucking it out with a strong shop vac.

Try weedeater string folded over. Feed both ends through and try to catch wires with loop end. A word of caution the tbw unit and plugs are very fragile. When assembling do a mock up and check there operation before complete reassembly

I think compressed air might work better. More of a sudden "blast" MIGHT work. . .

How about one of those flexible grab tools with the alligator clip on one end and the button on the other that opens and closes it. Have one in my tool box somewhere.
