2012 HD 48 handlebar change, electrics failing.
Changed to a Z bar and have only the headlight and ignition working. Turn signals, hi/low switch and speedo gone dead. Speedo had display before ignition though. Any hints? All cables /wires passing current, still wondering what went wrong. Thanks

Re connected battery, immobiliser didn't make any noise, is it broken? Went through diagnostics, no error codes, and now the speedo is working again somehow. Turn signals, horn and brake lights still out. Any advice? Cheers

Do you have a multimeter to do a continuity test? I had no problem when doing my Vintage Apes from RSD, but I have heard of others having issues with wires shorting out when trying to pull them through the sharp turns and rough internal edges of the Z style handlebars. The wires could still be passing current, but if something is shorting a standard volt reading won't likely tell you.
I would test for continuity between all of the wires and the bars themselves (or the nearest grounding point), and then wires between each other. You may find one or more wires are damaged and causing a short.
Here is how I would do the test on my Fluke: http://en-us.fluke.com/training/trai...ultimeter.html
