You're assuming you have to use a kit (which requires pulling the connectors). You could, instead, just snip and solder your own extensions in. The correct guage qire at the auto parts store and shrink wrap at Walmart cost less than $10. Here's my DIY bar swap in case any of it could be of use to you: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...e-install.html
You still have to pull the connector ends to be able to pull the wires through the handlebars.

taking the connectors abart is a breeze - I have done it so many time, I could do it in my sleep... I am guessing you will not have any problems, get the service manual and if you do need some help... PM me and I will give you my home number, I can talk you though the connector over the phone... its that simple...

The bars I installed had more rise and pullback, and the wires were too short to run internally. I had 16 wires to cut, extend and heat shrink wrap. I did my install last Winter, but only took a few hours and a few cold beers. You cvan try and tackle it one rainy day.
