Default Internal bar wiring question

I gave up trying to wire my my 10" pyo bars and took them to a dealer. They have the same bars on a new bike in the showroom., so I figured they know what they are doing. I dropped them off last saturday and they called this morning to say they were done. I get a call this afternoon for them to tell me I need to buy thirty some terminals to crimp on the controls. I could't believe they just cut all the terminals of both side controls and the new throttle sensor they said I had to buy. I am beyond pissed. I have never heard of any one wiring the bars this way. Is it just me?

Hello Firehawk, yeah I can see why your pissed, I just wired my 09 ultra this past weekend and installed wo575 chubbys, I like you purchased the new twist grip sensor to avoid any added connections and allow a little more space inside the bars for the rest of the internal wire run, of course every install is different, but i would pissed if they did that to me, did you discuss the job with them before they began? anyway good luck and hope everything works out.
