Internal wiring bars
Getting everything ready to wire/ install bars (10" MBB)this weekend, did'nt buy the wire extension kit, was wondering what gauge wire eveyone used when making they're own entensions?

I just did WO575's which are 10 inch and no wire extensions needed. just relocate the plugs in the fairing to the sides of the radio and secure.. TBW was plenty long to stay in original location.

Hey man you dont need extensions with the 10" MBB's. Just did mine last week. Plenty of length. Now pulling the wires sucks. I took this set to the local indy and threw him a benjamin and he had them them done in an hour. My wife and my sanity thanked me.

Sooo you just cut the switchs off, pull the wires through then solder the switch wires back up, shrink tube, done? Thanks in advance!

Oh, no, no, no. DONT do that! LOL! Unplug the wires (and brake MC and clutch of course), remove bars. Go in the house and crack a beer open and then take the switch housings off the bars. Throw stock bars in garbage. On your weather pack connector plugs, you will have 3 total, look down inside them and you will see and off white thing. Reach in there with a semi curved pick and pull them out......might have to alternate sides but they will come out. Then get a flashlight and look into plug and you will see all the little plug ends. NOTE HOW THEY ARE IN THERE......fat part to outside of plug. Take a straight pick and pry out on the clip between plug wall and pin and at same time pull the wire and pin out the back. You will understand all this once you get in there, trust me. TAKE NOTES ON WHERE THEY ARE, WHAT PLUG, ETC. They have to go back in the same place or the bike might crank when you turn the right blinker on or something. Now just take all that and run them through your bars. No need to cut anything or solder anything with the 10" bars. Do a search on here there are way better instructions than I just typed. Good luck.
