Default Yaffe Monkey Bars Install

Doing the internal re-wiring on a set of Paul Yaffe Monkey Bars (12") on a 2012 Street Glide. A little tricky but not too difficult EXCEPT for getting the right side wire groupings through. Getting the FBW cable through no problem but now that there is less room getting the electrical wires (encased in plastic sheath that we heated and shrunk) through is a B*&%^!! We have tried everything. Using silicone lubricant, the metal guiding cable (that breaks free everytime) the Push/Pull method. And cannot get the damn thing through. I'm looking for tips on tools used or methods that made it a LITTLE easier

Help!!!!

I had the same issue, you are going to have to take off your wire extensions, pull the tbw back out and run them through together, then put extensions back on
