Amen to that!

ORIGINAL: denm316

Thanks for all the quick replies. I went out and decided to take off the switch housing's from the clutch side and see what I could do. It seemed as thought the tech did not get the wiring all the way inside of the bars, so instead of taking 10-15 minutes more time he just left the gap. After working the wiring into the handlebar slot I was able to move the switch housing right up to the edge leaving no gap at all. I then took the throttle side apart and spent 10 minutes or so working the wires in there as well and was able to slide everything up with no gap there either. So everything looks perfect now.

I now understand why everyone refers to the dealership as the "stealership". I took it there to have the bars put on because I wanted it done right without any issues, I was not even overly upset at the cost. However I pay the money and get a half-*** job, needless to say I will begin to research these projects now and start learning to do it myself.

Once Again thank you for the replies...I feel I can always count on the help from everyone on this forum.
