so just finish the taking the wires out off the old bars, checked iff they work again after soldering them back together plus added cromcontrols housings aswell. figured out the wire colors for new head light vs. old, new rear vs. old
ill be making an adapter so it can be pug and play with the old harness and if you need to change something it can come apart again.
Jan will order some oe wire housings and the small legs for next time and ill order some for the adapter ill be making, new part´s added to list usb for charging navi.
ill be changing the wirring in the new head lamp cause i don´t like the way it´s done now.
the wide glide kit is a head ache still waiting on the missing parts before moving forwards on that

regards

they were stuck pretty good cause off the tape that is on the wirring for the switch housings, but we toke a wrench and wrapped the wirring to the turn signals got those out first, that helped, he is getting the mirrors with turn built in.
ill be sure to post pictures off the adapter when finished should be easy i have ordered the connectors ill be using with the oe that goes in the harness.
1 with 2 for number plate and 2 with 4 for the new style light´s with turn

new adapter 99% finish **** up 2 connectors , and we got the wrong connectors for the H4 housing for the headlight so that´s next time
but worked first time just forgot that when brake lever is not fitted with the housing it has brake light all the time

that´s it for this time

today i put the wires in the housing and tested the light´s only the front brake had i little problem it could not reach the switch so the brake light was on all the time,but put few washers in to push it out(switchhousing is for 2003 and older(he got the wrong one´s but made them work) he just needs to do a full service and tight the last bit´s and bob´s like the trippel trees on the frame neck.
i have problems loading more pictures off the bike the new system is not as good as the old one
