Default Handlebar swap questions

OK...bear with me. I have a 2010 Dyna Glide...want to swap my bars. The cable and wiring lengths are not issues. So I am thinking all I need to to is to take the grip assemblies off the bar and install on new bar. Sound right? I will use some cable ties to keep the wiring in place as the bar is not drilled for the little HD wire holders.

Is there any tricky stuff I am missing. No, I did not buy the maintenance manual yet..

Ya not much to it if not wiring internal. Just becareful with the brake lever. You are suppose to put a small wedge between it so you dont break the brake sensor when you remove it.
