Handlebar install
Hey all,
I have some WO575 that should be here this afternoon...so I started taking the bike apart. So far so good, I have the old bars off and am waiting for FEDEX. I started to look at the left switch harness to see what will need to be done to put the wires internal when I put everything back together. I saw one set of pictues that showed the plug being disassembled, wires run and then I assume reassembled in place. I can't seem to get the plug apart. Is this the only way to do this or will I need to cut and solder spice the wires? I am feeling a little overwhelmed as this is the farthest I have been into my bike yet. Thanks for any help!
By the way, I am working on a 2010 Limited. Thanks again.

I have the HD pullback bars. I installed and internally wired them myself. It was a pain but not too bad. Make sure you draw a picture of what color wires came out of what hole so you can get them in the right place when you put them back together. It'll sure look a lot better than that wiring harness cable wrapped to the handlebar.

Well I got the left side wires all into the bar and it appears that they are going to come up short so I will be ordering some wire extensions. It has been quite a job but it is turning out bitchin'. I will keep you updated. Thanks for listening to the likes of me.

Wires should work. (Just installed WO577s/12.5") They just need to be re-routed in the fairing under the radio. IIRC they are ziped tied on brackets and if you remove the zip ties it will allow for a couple of extra inches.
Hope that helps,
Mike
