Yeah I tried to find a drill bit small enough to fit in the molex and went with a sewing needle. Not a biatch but came close. All the wires finally came out. Found that if the wires release but wont come out the back of the molex to gently twist the wire in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The wire connector is square at the base and if it twists while releasing it wont come all the way out...resist the temptation to yank. Soldering was cake, staggering the splice as not to cause a bunchup which will make it really hard to pull thru. After all the splicing and heat shrinking, I used larger heat shrink instead of electrical tape to cover the wiring and applied heat to make it mold and not come loose when I pull.

Has anyone found that some of the wire color codes between main harness and control harness and the schematic dont match? Example the brake light switch is supposed to be red with black tracer, but my wire on the control is red with yellow.

I just finished with my Santee 14" ape installation and the most difficult part of fhe whole process was getting the molex connectors internal plate to rise to its highest level in preparation as well as getting the molex to release the wires. Now Im still waiting to install my extended brake line kit from the front brake lever and the front wheel calipers, but Im going to venture a guess that it still wont be anywhere near as problamatic as the molex connectors.
