Just bought 12 inch monkey bars,thinking of tackling this project myself for those who have done it how hard is the install?By the way i have a 12 flhx

 

A pleasure when finish, when doing it....... take your time and everything will be ok. I did mine with my buddy who help a lot.

 

It's not that tough, you just need to be prepared to deal with the clutch cable and brake lines. If you have ABS then you are headed to the dealer to have the brakes bled properly.

Removing exhaust for the clutch cable was the worst part for me!

 

It will be nice when you do it once than the second time will be easy. I'm having a friend help with mine

 

Look in youtube for this link it will give you a good idea on how to do it... i guess since i will be doing the same thing...but you know what ? i will try to do it and if at the end i am having a hard time with the clutch and brake lines, i will bring it to the dealer and let them finish the job...but at least the bigger part will be done ! please let us know how it went. good luck

 

I hated every second of it. i tore up wires, broke harness pins threw things, cussed, and cried. but well worth it

 

I've done it 5 times now. It's never been too difficult, but it always seems like each bike is going to throw a complication at you at some point. The only problem I had with mine this time around was getting the wires through my Gangster Apes. They're rough inside with some tight turns, and the TBW made it even more difficult.

And snap ring pliers make doing the clutch cable MUCH easier.

 

There is also a video here that will be very helpful: www.brcustoms.com

Pulling the wires and the TBW is the hardest part just be patient.

Cut the plug out the TBW line and solder the wires directly together otherwise the plug often separates as your trying to pull it through all the bends.

If you use any wire extensions (Namz is a great source) only add them after you've pull the stock wires through, they are long enough to do it this way on the Yaffee 12" Monkey Bars. Be sure to solder all connections.

I went +6" on the upper ABS brakes line and clutch cable, would go +8" if I did if over. The mid brake line(yes its two new pieces, upper and mid w/ABS back to the ABS control block).

Also you may want to add some Gooden Tight or Alloy Art bushions while you have it apart.

Good Luck!
