I'm getting ready to do some 18" apes any suggestions on brand. also I took off tank and seat if I get the bars with the wires in them should there be enogh wire to go back to junktion box under seat or is there a better way ??? thx

 

I'd recommend to re-wire the the new handlebar set-up to the main harness using the oem 6 pin Deutsch connectors (you'll find them in the neck of the frame).



If you take apart and re-use the Deutsch connectors, the only thing you have to buy is 12 TERMINAL, sockets Part No: 72191-94

Here's a link for some info (by forum member mud) on how to handle these connectors.


The color codes for your 1999 model hand controls match this 2003 model wiring diagram
