I just finished running the wires through the right side (W/TBW), couple things to add to the thread.
I wound up glueing the green connector together on the tbw wiring. Learned the hard way: You have to pull pretty hard on the wiring and mine came apart (when I was almost done!) and (as someone else said) to say I cussed Paul Yaffe and his momma several times would be an understatement. So yeah, GLUE IT!
I used weed whacker string to pull the wires through, worked pretty well. Run one through then attach two to that one and pull them both through, that way you'll have one for the tbw and one for the switches. Pull the tbw past the %$#@&*^ spike/bend and then start the switch wiring, that way you can kinda do both at the same time.
I, like someone else here, left enough of the switch wiring loom on (at the switch end) to get past the spike/bend so I won't have to worry about chaffing, I also added a piece at the end where the wires come out of the bars, for the same reason. I used lots of white lithium and it wasn't that messy, worked well.
This IS an exercise in patience, plan on plenty of time and walk away when necessary.
Update: left side is done, just wanted to let y'all know I was able to run the wires through WITH the OE loom.
BTW, I've done internal wiring, internal (mechanical) throttle and internal hydraulics. While they had their difficulties they weren't no monkey bars!!

Bought the 12" MBB's for my '07 Ultra Classic and I would love to have a copy of the hints/ instructions to help me get this install done right. Great thread and thanks to those who are willing to share their knowledge with the rest of us. Thanks, alowers@live.com
