Hey boys and girls...I'm swappin out my stock RKC bars for heritage bars tomorrow.
Heard it's no big deal with the internal wiring, if you take your time.
I'm thinkin, I can just slide off each side of my hand controls and slide em back on the new bars. (clutch side grip moves with housing).Seems to me
if I baby the controls back on, I won't even have to adjust the throttle.
Am I right or wrong?

 

How would you be able to do that if you are internally wiring the bars? Everything would have to come apart.

 

Would'nt I just take the wires out of the plugs in the headlamp, snake em thru the new bars and set the plugs up again?

 

I know this doesn't address your questions but I am certain the heritage style aren't drilled to accept internal wiring. Unless they changes something recently

 

I went to Reach Bars and had to use the extender harness from HD. But, yeah you should be able to slip your controls off after taking apart the switch boxes.

 

I like to wrench but I won't touch the tbw. I just had the heritage bars put on my 09 RK No wire nor cable or hose issues. All OEM stuff will fit but it took a progfessional techie 2 hrs.

 

If your going to do this your self, get a service manual. I installed Heritage style bars 56902-08 on my 08 RK last spring and didn't have any problems. The TBW was not an issue, and it took me (a backyard mechanic) about 3 hours using a service manual.

 

Don't forget to put a shim on your brake switch.

 

A real easy fun mod that will take some time. It took me 3-4 hours as I was in no rush. Shim your brake lever as it says in the manual
