im not going higher, just a different style. so,,am i going to have to disconnect the wires at the controls(lights,start,ect), or is there a quick disconnect under the tank? and can a first timer do fairly easy.

thanks,,
cosper

 

assuming they're internally wired .. yes. you'll need to unplug everything underneath the tank and pull them up through the bars.

and to answer your second ?? yeah a first timer can do it fairly easy .. i just did mine

 

so,,,the only unplugging ill need to do is under the tank, not the controls?

 

correct. once you take apart your controls you'll see they've glued the damn wires in there .. you need to go underneath your tank look up in the neck of the bike for a plastic piece which will pop out .. all the wires are stuffed up in there. you may want to loosen the bolts on your tank if it's not already lifted. pull all the crap out and find your wires then just unplug ..

THEN THE FUN PART

you're going to need to take the pins out of the molex connectors ..

it all sounds way more complicated then it is man .. HD mechanics are overpaid

 

oh and get a manual if you don't have one mine has helped a lot in the short time i've had it ..

on second thought .. screw that .. use this site .. same info only better informed here. the book was a waste of $70

 

+1 on the manual.

 

what did you use to remove the pins,,,by the way,,,thanks alot for the help,,,alot easy to understand than this manual i paid $70 for.

 

Search Muds sticky thread at the top of the Dyna section. He has a good write up on how to get the connectors apart.

 

If its a pre 06 dyna thats not how you get to the connectors

 

Are the bars you have on there right now stock? What kind of bars? What kind of bike? What year??If they're stock bars, they're not internally wired and you don't have to disconnect anything. Loosen the switch/throttle housings and slide them off the bars. Swap bars, put the stuff back on.
