Thanks Port Dawg.

When I reassemble the right side should I run the TBW or the switch wires first, or does it matter?

Along with the sweepers Im doing internal wiring and chrome controls, including the chrome switch caps.

Im hoping not to break anything and hoping to only redue everything once or twice instead of the normal 3-5 redues.

all I know is 4 hands are better than 2 when putting the switch housings back together..
it also would help a lot if you took a dremel, and feathered out the holes in the bars so you don't scrape a wire.

Its raining, cold, damp, and just a crappy day. Even my pups are staying under a blanket.

I want to get this project started, but I dont want to go out in the garage.

Those french doors open wide enough to get a FLH right into the warm cozy sunroom.

I just cant convince the misses that a bike in the house is a holy thing.
