Changing handlebars on fxdls

Are all of the connectors on the bottom side located inside the frame? Haven't done one of these before, mainly touring bikes and all of the connectors are right inside the fairing on those.....

Yes, if you look at the bars you'll see the cables going down through the top triple tree and then into the openings on the side of the frame. In there are all the connectors, along with all the cable slack.

I hate trying to pull them out or repack them. I'm going to be putting 16 inch apes on mine within the next week or so

I put on 9.5" hardcase risers and lucky Dave's bars. Got them wired just need to do the brake and clutch cables. I'm not looking forward to bleeding that front abs setup.

Just open the bleeder screw ( with a clear vinyl tube attached) and pour clean new fluid into the M/C. You don't need to work the lever. Unless you already did. If you did, then bleed as usual.
