I need some help, I have a 2011 Heritage Softail and have different smaller 4 pin connectors. Does anyone know how to get the pins out of these or do you have to drill the holes out big enough to pull the connectors through the bars

1 other tip IF you have to splice wires. Stager them so that you don't have 1 big ball of tape and splices right next to each other when trying to pull them thru the bars. I have seen where that has caused the wires to "jam" up inside the bars. I have everything internal now, including clutch and throttle, and it has a very cool and clean look to it up front.

I ran my wires on my bars and I barely could fit that internally. How do you fit those other cables? Is it a huge task? Did you have to drill out another hole on bottom to fit those big cables? How does it look around the base? sorry to hijack, but it is related.

can you buy a wire set or harness to put in the bars? Thinking if I had a set of wires I could put them in without tearing down my bike and not be able to ride. Then I could just switch out the bars and finish the job.

Does someone make them prewired? Sure would be nice if they did.

You need to remove the pins as seen in the video.
