We have always cut and spliced wires, and always took longer than 6 hours to do!!!
Put them on 2 street glides and they have been the biggest pain because of bends while running wires internally- good luck but you will love them

OK, the six hour time was just what a indy told me..... I know it will take me longer. I really thank you all for your responses. I am trying to do all my "homework" before I begin the job.

I have the SE TBW new in the package that I purchased and didnt use if your interested $65 + shipping and it yours.
I had everying and was waiting for the TBW to get shipped to my house so I figured I would give the stock one a shot...to made it though so I dont need the SE one anymore.

If you don't want to cut/splice try these from Eastern Performance: Barnett Electronic Throttle Control Extensions for Harley Davidson Models 08-12 Touring.

It took me 9 hours to do mine. But it took me 2 hours to learn the order of sliding the new wires inside of the new bars.
There seems to be a technic when working with the electronic throttle control wires. They need to go in first. They will go past the first bend. Then the "other cable of wires" will go through the first bend and past the throttle wire connectors. If one tries to put the throttle wire connectors in after the "other cable of wires" the connectors will not go past the first bend. The "other cable of wires" take up too much room for the connectors to pass in the bend. But if the throttle wire connectors are past the first bend the "other cable of wires" have sufficient room to make it through the bend and then past the throttle wire connectors. This took me about 2 hours to learn.

I have 14" bagger bars on my SG and did not have to cut the TBW at all. It was long enough. I did have to cut and splice the other 30 wires...lol I posted to tutorial on the touring section. Do a little search and you will find it. Good luck and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.

Cut and spliced mine 30,000 miles ago. Pull TBW first should help. If this is your first bar swap plan for quite a bit more that 6hrs. However with 10s you don't have to do brake lines so that cuts a chunk and if you just reroute your clutch that saves a chunk of time. I'm not advocating that you do that just saying that saves quite a bit of time. It took me about 1 hour to pull the wires.
