I have everything on except the cables they are supposed to be hear today!!! By the way it only took me about 10 minutes tops per side to pull the wires through. I used a heavy duty extra long zip tie so it would be flexible. Once through the bars I taped the wires not all at the same spot, but I folded the connectors down in different lengths. I also pre-bent them while taping to make the tight turn. I used spray silicone for rubber seals to lubricate them. Worked like a charm!

Also for those of you thinking about doing this you will want +6 on idle/throttle and brake and +8 on clutch. +6 will work on the clutch cable but gets very tight on right fork lock no matter how you route it. I would have returned mine for a +8 but I scarred the teflon coating so I was screwed.

My bars came in yesterday (Thursday).
Haven't touched them.
Took them out of the box, looked at them, threw them back in the box.
Work (self employed) has me slammed.

I am still waiting to complete the job for pics. My cables came in Friday and the upper brake line was black pearl instead of sterling chromite so we had to reorder those. They should be in today or tomorrow. I did not have to extend the wires just relocate the plug.

didnt need to extend the factory wires, just relocate the plug to under the radio
and the left side took about 10 minutes, throttle side took forever, cause of the tbw
