I am having a problem installing my Drag Specialties buffalo T-bar on my 14 Dyna, I have been reading here on the forums that on the newer bikes, the Deutsch connectors are small, therefore easy to put the plugs through, but on the Drag bars, the bottom holes are a bit small, just enough to NOT fit the wires through, I did the chain thing and thats when I realized it, now the cable is stuck inside the bar and It won't come off in any way or how. I am damn frustrated. Does anybody know of a solution?? Do i disconnect the connector from the wires? or do i make the hole a little bigger for them to go through??
Only thing that's stopping me from setting up the handlebars is the damn internal wiring, got a week to solve this so I can go to biketoberfest, someone must have done it on their bike....
**EDIT** the wires are JAE MX1900 anyone knows how to disconnect them?!

Good detail in the back of the manual about it with pics and all. If you don't have one, at the moment I'm unable to send a pic of it and it requires a small extractor tool or reasonable facsimile thereof to perform.
You could also drill the hole they need to pass through but just as with the wiring hurdle, don't make anything worse in haste!
There are no YouTube videos about it I been reading about it and nothing so far, but I think I'm just going to make the holes on the bottom of the Bars a bit bigger so I don't have that problem again, the left side wires are still stuck on the bend of the bars and I've tried thugging and pulling to no avail, need to find a smarter solution before I end up messing the cables, the compressed air idea sounds good I just need compressed air lol

That's what I would do (widening the hole). You can touch it up with a little testors gloss black enamel afterward.
As for an easier way to get the wires through, I had a custom set with some crazy bends in them a while ago. I ended up taping the first 6 inches of the wiring (connector end) to a really long zip tie. That made it much easier to get around the bends.
