Default Paul Yaffe 6inch monkey sport bar installing help

I have a 2018 low rider ,and I am planning on installing some Paul Yaffe 6 inch monkey sport bars next weekend ,and would like to know if you have to remove the connectors on the ends of the wiring so I can slide them through the bar ,also I will be relocating the signals to the forks, so those are wires that I dont have to run through the bars , any tips are greatly apriciated ,

Nice bars. I watched a video for this when I was looking at Street Glides.

I Fitted my P Yaffe 6" monkey bars without removing the connectors ,on my 18 RGS
Used a length of the bath plug ball chain, feeds thro bar easily under its own weight /gravity

folded chain between the wires & over the connector , lubed all sheath with liquid soap, patience required more so on throttle side

Yeah, I watched that video back in November and didn't remember if he pulled the plugs off or not.

But today I relocated the front turn signals on my Low Rider to the forks for a fairing install. Removing the connectors was the only to pull them without pulling all the wires from the bars. To be honest, once you've done one connector, the second one is trivial.

So go ahead and try it without removing the connectors. If you end up needing to remove them, don't worry, it's easy.
