Just hate tearing a good bike down...Tuesday I can get the bars on and figure out all the cables and wire lengths....Then pull the trans cover off and start putting it all back together...
Get all this done then its time to get serious about pulling the motor out of the 80 FLT for rebuild,168k+ shes due....long over due....
I don't know about flat black bars on a Deluxe. Disconnect the fuel line first before sliding the tank back. I learned that the hard way. You don't have to remove the tank at all. Just slide it back to get at the Molex connectors.

Thats what I wanted to know I wasnt sure it would slide back far enough and as for the Bars I went with chrome then chrome and black grips and not sure on cables,I think black might be the best route being how it will help show the chrome off is my thinking..
Got the tank moved back this morrning and pulled the wire harness's out,my Buffs should be here tomorrow,will thro them on and post a pic in the afternoon,then I will order my wire extentions and cables..YeeeeHaaaaa.
Looks like I will get it done by Nxt friday hopefully........Thats one bad thing about living in the country.....Besides dont want to rush it.....
