Which is a great reason to buy prewired plug and play.

 

Didn't remove my tank.

 

Done this myself twice. Once on a Heritage Softail and once on a Sportster 48. Taking your time it is a day long or 2-3 evening job. Definately want a service manual and torque wrench. I spliced and ran the wires internally myself. Much easier to get the pre-wired version just a little more $. When I do my new road king (Oh, yes I will) I'm gonna go with the pre-wired. Saves a lot of potential headaches.

 

I will be the odd ball here. While I can do some simple wrenching, change this and that I don't have the time or patience to internally wire bars and what not.

I take advantage of the local shops winter specials like $1000 any bar upgrade includes labor, all cables, hoses, bars, fee pick up and delivery along with winter storage.

I don't have the time to mess with it nor do I want to when I get the deal I do and help keep someone making a couple bucks.

This winter I had 3 bikes picked up, Sold one while there (no charge) new bars and bags on one, new fish tail mufflers, chrome lowers, cowbells, shotgun shocks (I paid and had them drop shipped) and my bill is around $2000-2200.00.

I am good with making my money while someone else make his money working on my bikes.

Removing the tank makes sure nothing gets dropped on it while changing out the bars.
I soldered the switches and plug ends to the pre-wired BR Custom Lightning Bolts.

 

Did you have to change your throttle cables????

 

Nah then I wouldn't get the satisfaction of knowing how to do it.

Allow urself a couple of days down time...do not rush!
I spend a few hours turnin wrenches then relax a few hours, heheh, but thats just me.
Most mechanics say 7-8 hrs labor.

 

Well boys, thanks for all the input, i went on a "final before dis-assembly ride" then got back and took off the front throttle set and sat back smoked a lung rocket and realized that this might not be the project for me to start. i have done a lot on my own, electrical, pipes, AC and what not but for some reason i looked at this and it looked like i was seeing hieroglyphics. 350 for peace of mind does not sound bad, plus i would hate to post that i got into a wreck cause my damn bars got loose and fell off.

 

Lmfao...gotta luv honesty. Could have BS'ed us all and took a after photo tellin us what a smooth job it went.
