Default Let the fun begin

Started taking the Ultra apart today after I got home from work for the Prime Apes install. Got it all apart and the bars and switch housings are in the family room ready for the next step. Will start extending the wires tomorrow and get then ready to pull through. Wish me luck and I will keep you posted on the progress...

Workin out of a lawn mower shed in Maryland? Brrrrrrr. Shoulda skipped on the bars and got some insulation to fill them gaps between the studs. Just yankin your chain. I have way to many friends that do their work in the living room. At least you have a shed to work in, these poor bastards rattle can parts in the house. Good luck with the install.

It was in the mid 50's when I got home today so figured it was the time to strike. The next few days are going to be cold so I will do all the wiring in the house. Supposed to be in the mid 50's on Saturday so I will put her all back together then. I might have timed this just right.

If you haven't planned to do so already, it's a great time to replace the OEM riser bushings with the urethanes.

Best wishes for your project; and, pictures are always welcome.
