Burly Cable kit and questions prepping for install
Hey guys,
Prepping for my ape install on my 2006 SG. I ordered the apes along with the Burly cable kit. I just checked their site and noticed it did not come with the connectors for each corresponding outlet/connection.
With that being said, it appears they're simply extensions with a adapter on the end. I am not very familiar with the wiring schematics on this bike, what exactly do I have to do with the kit, simply add onto my existing wires?
My bars and cable kit arrive Friday, I plan to prewire the apes if possible. Then Friday evening or Saturday morning start tearing down the bike and start the install.
Thanks to the search engine I was able to find a few tutorials and videos on how to do the install. One video showed the guy using a paperclip and popping out each cable, then manually extending them after writing it all down on a piece of paper. Is this what I will be doing with the Burly kit?
Thanks

When you refer to "cable" most are gonna assume your talking about the clutch cable. Same goes with "line" for brake line. After reading your post I have to assume your talking about your "wiring" harness. Yes you can use a paper clip to disassemble the connectors. Draw a pic of the connector on a sheet of paper and where each colored wire goes. If you'll look closely each hole is numbered. Not sure about the wire extension kits cause I've never used them. I've always extended the harnesses myself.

with the burly wiring extensions they are made to plug together and held with heat shrink the problem is they usually come apart in the pulling process. My suggestion
would be to cut and solder the wires for a better connection imho. Good luck with your install post pics when you get done.

It's really an easy job.. Seems daunting at first but do it once and it ain't ****.. U will figure out your questions once u get everything in front of you.. As long has u have basic mechanical knowledge and can solder your set

Thanks all, looks like I'll grab a soldering gun and the essentials. Good to know they're somewhat plug and play.
So, Crimson, no need to pop them out of the connector and rewire as I've seen others do. I'm just adding to the current harness I'd assume.Sorry I'm being vague, don't know the proper terminology for the wiring harnesses.
I have yet to post pics, so I suppose this can be my official before/after thread.
2006 SG, got it with 43xx miles on it in July. Excuse the bad quality pics, these were taken the week I brought it home.
