I'm in the process of putting new handlebars on the bike. Took everything off fairly easily but then found the holes in the bars are smaller than the ones on the bike. That leaves me the option of either cutting the wires and soldering them back together or just taking the connectors apart.

If I was to take the connector apart how do I get the pins out?
Hopefully these pics will show what I mean.

Thanks for any help

In the back of your service manual you can find the connector type name and google "disassembling (insert connector name here) connectors harley" and you'll find plenty of info.

It looks like a turn signal connector is covered in this one:

 

Thank you so much mate. Those videos have made it easier. Removing that white piece was key as it showed me the little tabs I had to depress to get the pins out.

 

That was fast! Glad it worked for you.

 

The tougher part might be getting it through the bars. Going to tape it up and use the shoe lace that I already have running through. Slow and easy for this next part

 

It can be quite a pain depending on the bars you're using.
I mounted some T Bars on my Fat Bob and it was terrible getting the wires past the 90 degree turn in them.

 

Those videos are great! I wish I'd have found those when I did this.

Just grab enough beer to ensure you'll have something to drink throughout the whole process. I think for me this was a 7 beer process. Not terrible, just takes time if you don't go out and buy all the tools for it. I used some thick clothes pins and a paper clip to get the wire/connectors all out.

One bit of advice, wait until after the beer wears off to put all the wires back in the connectors.

 

Jeez its a process for sure. First attempt resulted in the shoe lace shredding and cutting off on the sharp edges of the hole. Attempt two will be para cord and less tape as the tape also shredded.
I'm attempting to get it through 8" T-bars. That 90 degree corner is the issue for sure Esco11.
I have the whole day, only 4 beers in the house though, maybe I should visit the store first

 

I used paracord and wrapped it on the cables with electrical tape. Also compressed the first 5 inches of the cable wrap with the electrical tape. Helped a bit but it was still tough, I did it on some 8" bars too.
If I was to do it over again I'd probably do the turn signal relocation to cut down on the wire thickness.

 

I'm already thinking turn signal relocation and I've only had one beer
