Default Finally Got 'Em Pulled Thru

Still got a long way to go, but just wanted to thank everyone for your help. It was a royal PITA, but I'm glad I did it.

Not too bad for a 60 yr old dude with a bad back. The slip knot did the trick. Thanks

I plan to go through this probably this fall with my new baby.

Looks great though! Make sure to post some sweet shots when you're done!

Looks good!
Put LA Chopper Twin Peaks on my Road glide. They were a pain in the ***. Fired it up and had no throttle. Pulled it all apart and started over. Hard wired the throttle wire (highly recommend it) and all is well now.

take your time, make sure your connections are solid, and get on with it

This is day two. I can get either the switch wiring or the twist grip but not both. I'm getting pretty aggravated

I recommend pulling the control wires first, then the TBW. Make sure you are de-pinning the green connector and not trying to pull the connector through the bars.

I recommend using baby powder as it reduces friction a ton and is a lot less messier than wire lube. Once you have the control wire through, wiggle it from the top and bottom as you push and pull the TBW cable through. Go slow and be patient.

Congrats. I found it to be a pure pain in the ***. Made it little easier when I cut off the green plug. I bought the connector extension kit and soldered the actual connecters so they wouldn't pull loose. Still took me all weekend to do it. Talked to a vendor at bike week and they said they were installing bars on 1.5 hours. Don't know how they manage that.
