Handlebar problem...HELP!!
I am in the process of adding Wildone 508 Bars to my RKC. Everything is apart but I can not figure out how to get those FREAKIN pins out of the wire harness connectors for the switch housings.,. I have to remove the connectors to wire internally. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

I will try to help...If you will look in the connector where the pins are there are 2 slots close to the center of the plug...get some hemostats or small needle nose pliers and gently pull outward on it...It won't move much after you have done that you have unlocked the connector...If you will notice there is a small hole under each pin...You need to find something about the size of the hole...I think a straight pin would be too small...Perhaps a real small drill bit...insert it in the hole and push while gently tugging on the wire you are trying to remove repeat for each wire...If you will notice there are numbers on each corner of the connectors backside...Be sure to note where each wire goes...I hope I haven't totally confused you...Good Luck.

pins
Take a hook tool and pull out the plastic connector that separates the pins. Once that is done you can access the the clips that hold the pins in. It will take some force, just pull evenly and I assure you it will come out. I just put the 12 1/2" Chubby's on my Roadie end of last week.

I was under the impression stock wiring would work with 508s on the RKC.. The way it looks right now the wires are way short...WTF?? Can't wire externally cause there is not a recess for the wire like on the stock bars. Anyone put the Wildones on RKC and used stock wires??
