Default Changing bars

I changed out the bars on my 14 SGS. Now my right switch pack will not work at all and the left one only works when the fairing is folded foreword. Anyone have any advice on what to check? Hopefully it's just something I over looked. Really don't want to send to the dealer.

On the plug end of the twist grip TBY, people fail to get the green plug correct, they pinch wires, blow fuses , switch wires and most of all fell to plug in that harness that fell down behind the whatchamacallit. That's why the dealer charges $400 to do this and $800 if the home owner messes with it first.

What bars did you use? Did you use harley extensions? I would follow those plugs all the way to the bars. Probably not plugged in or pinched.

I used yaffe bagger bagger bars with NAMZ extensions. I ran all of them from the end of the oem plug to where they plug in on the bike. Unplugged checked pins put them back together checked security. I'm at a loss now.

I was just wondering seem like a lot of solutions don't get posted.. Did the dealer say what it was?

Glad you didn't
