Just finished my 15" PYO handlebar install, boy what a pain in the ***! Pretty tuff but i got it done, if you take your time and us the right tools its not that bad. Now i know exactly what to do, so if any one needs any help, just pm me. Oh ya instruction manual is a must. I now have the privilege to say to my buds' " ya , i installed them myself", ( lets hope nothing falls off, HAAA!)

parts are about $500 for a cable throttle bike, prob $100 less for a TBW bike. wiring them is a major fukc my life situation, but well worth it.

If you go with the wire extension from NAMZ it makes it a little easier.

Its not fun , but you can get it done . might need help with the brakes , holding bars so you dont scratch paint and dont play with the ignition or swich when you take it apart

When you get all your parts together shoot me a PM. I'm the resident handlebar installer in the group I run with so I've done quite a few. You could come over, BS and we'll get'em done in 4-5 hours no problem...no charge. Pick a Saturday.
