yaffe bars
Purchased pauls monkey bars for my road king, long story short, went to dealer for installation and was turned down because of chaffing problems on the fly by wire internal wiring these bars have had in past, now what? $400 bars and no help. wth? legacy harley midland odessa said they may do it for $800 with no guarantee I wouldn't be stranded. I thought about foam filling bars with great stuff to keep wires from chaffing if this IS a major problem, any better way to do this? pls help

They're doable but are a pain. There are other people to go to though, Torch Industries, BR Custom, Ballistic Cycles just to name a few. You can also look up the Wild 1 bars, my last set of Wild 1 bars were the easiest I have ever put wires through. The guys wiring for those dealers shouldn't be working there if they can't get the job done, it's difficult and time consuming but not at all impossible.
Just wire the bars yourself, or send them to Yaffe with your stock bars and controls and they will wire them up for you for like $200 last time I checked. If you can take it apart and put it back together this will save you money and you can keep the bars you already bought.

Keep searching - you'll find someone who has experience installing the Yaffe's. They are one of the more popular bars out there (with plenty of complaints about install issues) - but somebody out there can do this right.
I would look into purchasing the CVO TBW harness. It eliminates the "green connector" issue. This is HD part # 32310-08

14" br customs here. Have patience and definitely get the cvo throttle sensor. The design of the yaffe bars automatically hinders pulling wires. I seem to remember reading that br smooths the joints inside his bars to facilitate easier wire pulling, but I may be confusing with someone else. I have had a beer or two since I installed mine.

I did mine..everything BUT pulling the wires, tried and failed, i'm not big on patience though... i did an inner fairing swap at the same time so in the big picture i was still WAY ahead on labor cost..
LOVE my Monkey Bars...
