As Mr Hog stated I have had problems with the green plug but right now I have the tbw wire through. Its not connected to anything yet. This is my 3rd attempt and just cant get the switch wires past the corner with the tbw wires thru. Mt hog said he pulled both sets thru at the same time which I have not tried yet. I've greased them, sprayed them but get stuck and don't want to rip the wires apart.
Will try again Thurs or Fri.

If anyone has any more advice other than the youtube video and the Yaffee tips, I'm all ears.
Does anyone know how much the SE TBW harness costs?

Buckeyerider, did you have any more luck at this? I'm running into the exact same problem right now. I just came in from the garage, after spending six hours trying to get the right side done, with no luck. I fished everything through three times, and each time I would get a little further along, but no dice. The last time was the farthest. I got the green connector all the way to the corner, and it seperated and tore the heat shrink. I don't see how it's possible to get that in, and then the switch harness too.

When I did mine I found that by twisting a piece of wire, I used a depapered bread twist tie, around the green plug lengthwise so it couldn't pull apart and then covering the plug with tape to smooth it out I was finally able to pull it all through. A little lubricant didn't hurt either. That damn green plug of the TBW took longer than all the other wiring together.

rb, check your in-box. I also sent you a link to a helpful video on youtube. When my bars arrived, the same instructions were in the box. But they had been copied in black and white, so the pictures were just about worthless. I'd advise anyone considering tackling this project, that you go through and read this entire thread, as there's several good tips here, that are not in the instructions.
Hope this helps!
