Help! Wild1 internal wiring w/TBW loom
To the guys that have installed wild1 575 bagger bars: I am having a hard time running the right switch wiring loom through the bars with the TBW conector and loom.
1. Do I install the TBW loom first, than try to run the switch harness through past the TBW connector in the bars, or,
2. Should I remove the wiring loom sheath from the loom? Is it safe to run these wires through the bars without the thick loom sheath?
I also tried running both the switch wiring loom and TBW loom at the same time. I had 2 strings run through the bars tied to each loom so I could pull at the same time of pushing into the bars, and even wetted everything down with windex to make it more slippery but the TBW connector binds against the switch wiring loom in the turn of the handlebars.
Any advise from guys that have done this would really be appreciated

Go figure! I studied this job all winter and had no idea there was a replacement sensor that is longer. I know about the wiring extensions for the sensor but I knew the sensor connector would still be in the same place in the bars and the over all length of the oem sensor is long enough for these bars. If I knew there was a replacemnet sensor( I assume the sensor connector loom is longer so the connector is outside the bars), I would have paid any amount to save me from what I went through. I had no idea I had this much patience.

When you get ready to do the same job just PM me for my phone number. I have some good tips that will save you time that I wished I had done. LIke I said, I learned a lot doing this. 20 years ago I was G.M. technician, you'd think I could have done this faster but I guess between my bad eyes and old foggy brain it wasn't happening fast.

Not trying to steal your post but I'm looking to do the same job this week on my 09 Ultra. I've done a couple bar swaps in the past (no Ultra's) and always had to remove the stock exhaust. The 09 exhaust looks further away from the clutch release cover. I'm thinking that I could get away with removing the heat shield and use a ball ended hex to remove the fasteners from the clutch release cover. Is this just wishful thinking? Waiting on the 32310-08 sensors to arrive and have +4 clutch cable in hand. Any other concerns I should be aware of?

Yes, you can just remove the shield on 09's
