Internal Wiring/Bars
Looking to go with a set of the Chubbys 10" Apes ona 07Heritage and trying to get as much info on the job B4 I tear into things. When it comes to the internal wiring do you have to cut the wires from the inside of the switch housings, route them on the inside of the bars from the bottom and out by the grip section and splice back together inside the switch housings?
I am hoping there is some sort of connection at the end of the wires under the tank or instrument console. If so is the connectionclip small enough to pass through the routing slots in the bars?
Thanks,
Danny

RE: Internal Wiring/Bars
Not sure if this helps.... I just wired my stock apes internally on my Street bob. I found where the wires plug together under the tank and had to cut the wires there. Started the wires up by the controls, down and out the bars, then re-attached the factory plug. Its not hard, just a little time consuming.

I did mine a few years ago , following the wiresback under the tank to the connector clips unhook them then you have to remove the wiresfrom the connector housing.Make a diagram so when you reinstall them everything works, pretty easy to do just time consuming but well worth it in the end.

RE: Internal Wiring/Bars
DCS, just take your time. Also, search for author "ronyd", and you should have the info you need.
Basically, here's what you need to know:
[ol][*]tank removal ; don;t have to but really is nice to get a clear view of what's under the hood; and you don;t have to woory about dropping **** on the tank.[*]Don't splice; buy the Novello extension kit (see http://www.jpcycles.com) or buy the pins and make up your own extensions; remove the conduit that the wires are harnessed and shrink wrap wires, make a cleaner, firmer. and smaller diameter harness to pull through.[*]I didn;t have to extend my wires, so I just figured out how the Molex connector worked, and released the pins. Piece of cake.[*]Also using Techflex 1/2" Chrome XC Mylar Sleeving($18 for 25' ) (see http://www.partsexpress.com) used for the wiring coming out of the barsto the frame. HD uses black conduit loom which is nice, but didn;t like the black look ($9 for 3').[*]Controls were not a problem. Just be careful of the ferrules that hold the throttle and idle cables.[*]I replaced all my cables and brake line with Magnum Chromite stainless.[*]If you live in the cold weather and want to be comfortable, check outKuryakyn Heat Demons. While your putting on new bar, slide these puppies in, and your golden.[*]Buy a manual!![/ol]
good luck, and ask questions. this is a good forum, and we'll guide you through it...
