Maybe a long shot, but MassHD or ssfirefighter, do you guys still have your installation tips/tricks available for email? Got my monkey bars for the street glide & supersize kit through my dealer but no instructions, now the weekend is here & would like to get started.
If you could, please email to ruiner73@hotmail.com
Thanks!

I just did mine a few months ago. At first they were a PITA, but now that I have done a set, it wouldn't be any trouble at all.
I actually spoke to Paul in Vegas before I pulled the trigger on them and he said that he had simple instructions that made it easy. He said the only complaint he ever got was that people couldn't pull the wiring through, but after he told them to go read the instructions, they all finished with ease.
He emailed me the instructions, and it wasn't working as easily as he describes. Then I noticed that the install he was doing was for a set of standard apes and not the Monkey Bagger Bars. Once I realized that, I sort of did a hybrid install using his instructions and my own technique and had no problem.
If you are really thinking about doing this, get PM me and I'll guide you to the cheapest place to buy them and give you the other secrets I figured out.
