I learned soldering when I was a kid, and then worked several years for electronic manufacturing plants, the only things to be scared about soldering is constant exposure to flux/lead gases

Mimo.
thank you for the encouraging words and the advice.

thanks for the compliment brotha !! as far as new paint........ i just recently started thinking about laying some kind of design over the blue. whatever i do i will try to keep the base blue, i love that blue pearl man, HD hit a home run with that paint color on this bike.

i so wish i could take you up on that offer. lol lol

Its really not hard nor a big deal as long as you match up the colors. If I were you, I would pull out as much slack as I could from the wires running in the bars, and cut your original wiring harness about 8" from your hand controls. You may want to cut each individual wire a different length so you don't end up with a fat spot that you have difficulty pulling back into the bar. After you cut by your hand controls match up the wiring to the color code that came with your bars, solder and heat shrink, pull the wires back into the bars, and repeat the process inside your headlight or disconnect the plug and install the plug on your new wires. It takes about 8 beers depending on how fast you drink, but nothing is better than doing that kinda stuff yourself. By the way I have a heritage, not sure if the wiring harness goes into the headlight bucket on a rocker.
Thanks for the pointers, getting all this encouragement from you guys is working..... i think i'm gonna take this on myself.
