RE: Beach Bars Install
I plan on going with the internal wiriing as well. Any reason in particular for going with the wider bar? Would you mind posting/emailing some close ups of the bars and wiring? Thanks!!

RE: Beach Bars Install
The bar are very comfy, I am real happy with them and it cleans the look up. I use my exsisting wires had to add on 5 to 6 inches to wireing hardnesses. I also replace switch covers and front brake master cyclinder and lines, clutch cable, brake and clutch levers, hand gribs, went with chrome buttons on switches (plastic HD
) cables are diamond cut. Took me better part of a week at least five days, work on it after work and over one weekend. I also change oil in all three holes, went with amsoil, and amsoil gear oil.
One thing I want to highly recommen is if you change your clutch cable, when you reinstall it do not, I repeat do not over tighten it. It will break. I promise you. Theres a story behind it, Lets just say I broke two, 90 dollar cable. I found the second one at another HD dealer ship and I have to take my hat off to both Crete Harleydavison and Chi-Town Harleydavison, they could have not honor my stupidity! Its a lot of work but if you want to save some $$$$ and learn your way around your scooter get you manual and go at it, it really is a step by step process. I had to go into the trans and clutch sides of the engine to my adjustments. YOU CAN DO IT.
