Piece of cake. Once I finished, I couldnt believe that the dealers charged an assload of cash for the job. It wasn't tough at all. Just pay attention and take your time. It all comes together just fine

 

Agree with RaceFace. I paid to have my 12 RK done because I wanted to ensure I didn't mes up any wiring....helped my buddy do his Seluxe and honestly I thought the wires was the easiest part. As for running the wires, everyone says that's the hardest but if you heat shrink them good and then wrap electrical tape tight all the way down its really easy. Just tie some steel leader fishing line to it with a heavy lead weight and it makes it really easy. The hardest part was getting the clutch cable cover off was the hardest due to the exhaust. If you just loosen the flange nuts to give you room to flex the pipe, it makes it a little easier. If you have ABS tho, you'll have to take it to the dealer for bleeding brake line....as others said. Took us about 3 1/2 hrs total install including clutch adjustment and brake bleed on his Deluxe w/o ABS

 

believe it or not, you can bleed the ABS brakes like normal and then reset the ABS unit by pulling the maxifuse for a minute

 

Subscribed. I have a set of 14 inch Wild Ones toisntall on my 2011 FLHR and as I research this it seems to be getting easier and easier. The ABS was my big worry but after reading the post my Stupid Rope I reckon I will be okay...I hope.

 

So all the talk of having to take to the dealer for a special software is bs? No special bleeding procedures or anything? If so then I don't have to save up more money to change my lower brake line!

 

Bleed the line that is going to go to the box first, then hook it up to the box and finish bleeding the system for the lower lines, works like a charm. Done it twice now. No dealer BS, no ABS lights, and my brakes still work. Just don't introduce air into the box and all is well.

 

Well damn. I appreciate the knowledge!

 

Subscribed...I got all the time in the world to do this but not sure if I should just pay an indy to do it or not.

 

I wish I would have done mine myself. I took it to a local indy and he charged me 8 hours labor, about $600. After the bar change the throttle side toggles wouldn't work. Cruise and radio band. He swore the wiring was correct because he "did it himself". He swore he would make it right but was always too busy to work me in. Said that happens sometimes, the switches go bad when bars are changed. I took it to another guy I know and a couple of hundred bucks later, fixed. The wiring on one of the plugs was in order and correct on top and in order but backwards on the other side. Needless to say I won't be taking my bike back to that shop (I've since found a new mechanic) and I am telling everyone I know to stay away from the indy. Long story not so short, do it yourself. I didn't and I regret it.

Ride safe!
