Just take the wires out of the connectors. Just need some needle nose pliers and a paper clip to remove.

Check out Wild 1 website for details on how to remove wires.

Go to http://www.wild1inc.com/ select Touring on the left side and when that loads, under the picture of the TBW connector it says "Wiring Tips."

I checked your bars out online, turns look a bit tight.
When I did my apes I prestrung the bars with nylon mason line attaching a fishing split shot that fit through the holes in the bars.
Start at the top shaking the bars as you go, split shot should fall right out of the center slot.
Tape each line of to the bars.
disassemble the deutsch connectors , make a diagram of the wire locations if you don't have the service manual.
You can make a small hook out of wire to grab the mason line .

Good luck.

Default weedeater line

I used weedeater string, no lube. Worked great. Tried fishing line, cable, lube, nothing else worked, took two days of frustration, lots of Miller Lite, but finally the weedeater line worked great. Have fun
