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!
