Tbw
I had some fighting to do with TBW side, there is very little room for your throttel sensor inside the PYMB tight fit. Seem like the sensor wants to push out but it dont. Ive seen other bikes with the PYMB with a gap. if your controls and bars where it tapers downs sit flush there right. If you have a gap between were the the bar tapers down and your controls not right. You didnt get wires pulled properly. Oh yeah you have more wires on the right side too, left side is cake. I went with 14+ harness.

when i did mine, i used dental floss and vacuum (vacuum around bar end and just feed the floss thru the bottom till it was in the vacuum hose), then tied that to some 16 gauge wire and pulled that thru. Once Pulled thru i taped (electrical tape) all pins to that wire with some baby powder and pulled/pushed everything thru. I did get the SE TBW harness to make things a bit easier. Also wd-40+electrical tape = mess lol - tried that on my old chopper, i spent more time getting tape adhesive off the wire then i did pulling thru.
took about 5-10 mins per side if that to fish everything thru, and another 5 mins per plug to plug in all the pins. - service manual is your friend unless you wanna take pics of plugs before you pull apart.

Just looked at the Johnny V website and they want $270 just for SS brake and clutch cable kit. Am i the only one that thinks that's outrageous? Please tell me there are cheaper alternatives for stainless cables.
