well i finaly did it, been looking at the wild1 chubby bars and decided to go with the 575s. removal of the fairing was simple, then came taking apart the wiring to prep it for installing in the bars. wow i was surprised at how much fun that was. I made a diagram of each side for the wiring and how it came apart. i am looking forward to putting it back together on tuesday night. so thats new bars and cams, it will make a difference im sure. updates to come with pictures when im done!

 

Do yourself a favor and either clip that green POS connector or tie it together somehow.

 

that green connector was easy to get apart, i just took my time and did just what the manual said. when i put it back together i will make sure it is taped together good! how hard was it to thread the wires through the bars?

 

Threading through was not that hard. What is hard is when the green connector comes apart inside the bars, and you fire the bike up to be sure everything is connected properly, go to give it throttle and nothing happens. Fun.

You will feed the green connector through first, then the big bundle harness. If that green connector comes apart, it will come back out ok, but will not go back in with the big harness already in there. You either have to start all over or run 6 new wires through there and connect them in place of the green connector. I would use a small zip tie or 2 on that green connector if I were doing it over again.

 

thanks, i will keep an eye on it. did you use any wire lube to get the wire though?

 

Dawn dish soap

 

Do yourself a favor...cut out the green plug....hear me now believe me later.

As far as lube goes I used this type of wire loom....the harder you pull the tighter it gets and is so slick it slipped right through with no effort.

 

2kids3pets, where did you get that?

 

My advice with the chubbies also is to get the green connector out and sauter the wires. The others pulling though is not a big deal

 

I've done a couple and kept the green connector, never had a problem with it. I think it was because I simply took a piece of shrink tube and covered it after making sure it was together properly. Fed thru the bars with no problem at all last two bikes. Did the SE wiring on this one just for a change.
