Probably a dumb question but... in the video he takes the derby cover off to adjust the clutch cable? I changed out my clutch cable and didnt do that... is this only necessary if you're changing the cable length? Sure does look like a lot of work running the wires through the bars... if Yaffe could sell the bars with wires ran already he could probably mark them up another couple hunderd without a problem! LOL!
Once you run the wires through the bars once, you'll feel like you could do it over again no problem. I actually had to back my wires out after running them through. Second time running through was much much easier. Matter o fact, if anyone needs help wiring bars mail them to me and Ill run em through for you for cheap cheap.

No worries, all info is good info. Yeah I got the bars, everything was as described.
Had other things to do today but did get the factory "heat shrink" off, connectors off and get ready for new heat shrink. Gona go to town tomorrow and get a heat gun and a little more heat shrink. Also got the Klein pulling tool from Home Depot.....basically works on same principle of Chinese finger handcuffs. Gona attempt to pull wires tomorrow. Wish me luck.

I know these are easier, but I ran my wires through the WO578's this weekend and just used a wire to pull them through with jelly. Not to bad once we learned to pull the electronic throttle connector out a ways because it kept hitting this. Take your time

I pulled the radio to access the handlebar bolts inside. A set of long ball allen wrenches are your friend. You can use a long ball allen to loosen and tighten the two near the front and only remove the ignition switch cover. You may need to adjust your clutch pack (reason for pulling derby cover) but most of the time not.
