Arvis, I sent you an e-mail not sure if you received it, but I went to remove console and turned it upside down and there was a lot of wires to disconnect, do I really have to remove console to slide tank up or remove tank? I guess when I seen all those wires I got nervous, sorry for all the questions I don't want to screw it up.

You can disconnect the plugs on the console. They have there own connectors and you really can't scew it up putting them back. The hardest one is the one with the two red 12 guage wires at the bottom. The trip button un screws and you can lift the console off. Disconnect the tank breather. The fuel gauge is underneath the tank tucked away in the harness. Disconnect that and slide the tank back or just remove it. Be sure to disconnect the cross over fuel hose on one side. Use a 1/4 20 bolt to shove in one side of the rubber hose or a pencil and have another piece of tubing for the otherside with the same arrangement.

 

Hi Pat,

Didn't get your email.
I don't think its absolutely necessary to remove the console, but it is a lot safer this way. All wires in the cosole have different plugs. Theres no way to mix them. It takes no time at all to remove it and put it back.

 

Thanks guys, I'm almost there I removed console took off bolts holding tank, but how do you take off the cross over hose?

Can you provide the name of this tool and where do I get one?
Thanks,
Alan

And Pat, to remove the crossover tube you just unclip it if I remember, one side only, make sure you have a bolt to stick up it, .......the tube that is, and a towell ready. Oh, and don't forget to empty the tank first.


Good luck.

 

Ok, I got all the wires off the connecters, now how do I get the signal light wires out from the switch housing?

Patc if you got all the wires from left and right switch assembly connectors, your done. Just take off the switch assembly. Put your new bars on, then feed the cable wires if your going internal. To make things easier to pull, you could strip off the heavy casing around the cable wire, and then replace with heat shrink. Becomes much tighter, and smaller bundle, a snap to to pull through.

 

I'm replacing the black switch housings with chrome so the wire has to come out.

Once you pull the wires out of the bar you can separate and pull the signal light wires from the switch housings
