It isn't really that hard. The main thing will be running the wires through the bars. What I found that worked best for me was to spray some lube on the wires and into the bars to get around the sharp corner at the top and leave the sleeve on the wires or there is a good possibility that the sharp edge will cut the wires and you don't want that to happen.
I ordered their super size kit when I ordered my bars and this was more for connivance, it took all the worry out of what size cables to order and plus they sent the wire extensions and all required fluids so it was simply taking off the old and putting on the new.
My main advice would be take your time and you won't have any problems.
does the clutch cable have to be replaced or is it long enough ?
I installed my fly by wires for my throtlle, I got the 6 red,blk and white into my plug but have no idea what happened to where the two (wht @ blk) wires plug in the fairing ???? What did I miss???

Im not following what your talking about. My fbw wires were red, purple, grey, black, blue and brown. I just did mine today and this should ring a bell to me.
The clutch cable is fine with the 10" bars. I didnt have to do a thing to mine except unbolt it from the stock bars then bolt it back on new bars.
I installed mine through Burly 13" Ape bars just this weekend. The first time I tried fishing the wires through, they kept snagging on the sharp edges. After pulling them back out, I removed the black protective wrapping and electrical taped the wires together. By doing so, it reduces the wire feed diameter by almost a third. It was very easy to fish them through afterwards. A few people have mentioned that, and I think it may make a world of difference.
Now that I know how to do it, I may just buy the PYO Monkey bars and swap them out.
