Awsome thank u-guys for all the help. Very helpful tips to keep in mind. I think if I have some free time today I will take the tank off, and maybe look to see what my options are on that crossover line.

Crabby: ITs funny you should mension about taking pics of were the wires go and not paying attention to the same color wires. I myself took a bunch of pics and drew diagrams Funny what you miss when you are too carfull

Depends which model and year bike. On my '03 WG I had to go back in front of the rear tire, pop the plastic cover off , cut the zip ties that held the harness in a loop, then push/pull some excess harness towards the neck hole. That allowed me to get to the plug. That is a 2 man job for sure. then I ran my wires through the bars for a cleaner look.

The last pic has a piece of foam under the front of the tank to raise it 2.0 inches. I did this cause I am thinking of the tank lift.
I didnt expect the bar to have that big of a bend in the risers
So till they make a straighter riser t- bar in 1.5 Ill thick with these for now.

glad to see it came together fine... so you know, carlini has the pullback t-bars with the smooth curved riser style you would probably prefer.

Iwanted the bars to be taller so I ordered the 1.5 extensions to go with the 10in t-bar. Ill have new pics soon. Also ordered the cables, and tank riser.
