Default Just did ape install on 2011 sg

Good advice on the "namz" brand wire kit (i bought la choppers brand & had to solder wires then crimp on duetsch pin connectors...24 of them!) namz i believe will come w/connectors already attached fo same price. Tbw for screaming eagle sg comes longer too,it cost $100 but was right length for 13" prime apes.if you install one and bike cranks but gets no fuel to heads,you wired yellow pak and black pack of wires backwards!you will also need longer mid and top brake lines.

thanks guys, i think im definitly, soldering wires over the nams kit not big on the idea of only heat shrink holding my wires together. i just dont know how much wire to add in each link soldered together. as far as the TBW i got the barnet kit i know the connector will make it tight but i think its doable. also what dose everyone think about heat shrinking the wires together into a few bundles and then running them in the bars or would it be better to pull them individually?

I bought a kit that came with the upper to the splitter to the calipers. All Braided stainless. It was a breeze. I dont know for sure if you can take apart the stock lines from the splitter to the calipers..

i decided to solder the wires together to get my added length, but my TBW im up in the air about, the harley dealer told me a few months ago that soldering the TBW wires will change the resistance and the throttle responce may become poor and also might make it stick to full throttle??? this dosent sound accurate to me at all and sounds like more harley buy my $100+ part scare attempt. anyone else hear this before?
