They come with the wiring harness? Looking at their site it only shows the wires and some shrink wrap

Well they come with the extensions for turn sigs, controls etc. all you do is take your stock wiring out of the deutsch connectors and whatnot and plug the extensions in. I mean it is literally plug and play. Then you shrink wrap those suckers. Easy breezy! Didn't take me long at all.

I, too, thought that I would have to buy other wiring but this comes with everything you need to get the new bars up on the bike.

You have a 2012 bike with canbus wiring. You don't want to mess around with splicing the wires or taking apart the connectors. Use the Namz and save the grief. The connectors on the newer bikes are small enough to fit through the holes in the handlebars

chi45cken has an 2001 and on those you did have to take apart the connectors and do it that way. With the namz extensions for the 2011 and up softails you only need to plug them in. Trust me I just did 14" apes on my bike.

For sure! One thing about the brake cable in that set is that you can't change the banjo fittings so mine just hangs there at an angle I hate, but oh well - that will get fixed with time :-)

Did you have any issues with getting all the wires tucked back under the tank? And what size extension did you use?

Not an issue at all. I used the namz 8" extentions and for Cables and brake lines I used the parts below.
For clutch went with MAGNUM BLACK PEARL 70-11/16" SOFTAIL #422214HE
Magnum Black Pearl
#43198 Throttle Cable, 90 deg, 40-1/2" length, smooth end, 5" travel
#442510 Idle Cable, 90 deg, 40-1/2" length, smooth end, 4-3/4" travel

Upper ABS brake line
HD Diamond Black 34" Part #41800118A

PS for the brake line you will need a 7/16 straight 180 deg banjo fitting like this.

Thanks for clarifying! :-) the fact that u don't need to take apart the connectors is even better-makes it for an easier job for sure! If I go any higher with the bars I may just do that.
