New bars popping fuses
I installed a set of PYO Monkey Bagger Bars and they are bad *** BUT When I turn all the way to the left on 2 occasions the bike died, hunting it down it is popping the ignition fuse. I am sure i have a short somewhere but am looking for more info on where to begin to look. Which wire could cause the ignition fuse to pop. I am also trying to track it down from the wiring diagrams in the manual but dang....spaghetti mess.
Bike is a 2011 FLHX Street Glide 96
When putting the bars on all the wires are internally routed so I had to cut and extend all 3 wirelooms, Right controls, left controls and the TBW (throttle by wire). All the splices are soldered and shrink wrapped.
Any help is appreciated.

i would say its brobably inside your bars somehere, could have happened when you pulled the wires, i wrapped all mine in tape before pulling, and glad i did could see where alot of it had gotten mess up. good luck

Hopefully you just pinched a wire at the controls. Start there since its a easy fix.
If you got a bare wire inside the bars its going to be a lot more work.

Start with thee right control since thats where the ign runs. May get lucky and find a pinch at the housing, but if it blows on a hard turn, you may end up looking at that loom perhaps where it exits the bottom of the bars, thats figuring the loom in the bar is solid and not mooving unless you really have a short loom due to the height of your bars. Did you reroute the plugs at the triple trees to make the harness a little longer to reduce sharp bends on the wires?

thanks for all the tips....I suspect at the right controls as well and will start there. I added 12" to all of the wires and that really helped the install. I tried 3 different ways to pull the wires through so actually repulling them will be way easier. I saw no digs or scrapes on the pulled wires and PYO does a great job it seems of making sure the inside of the bars are bur free.

found the issues
On the throttle side there are 2 looms that come in, Throttle position/heated grips and then the right side switches that have a big black plug. Turns out when we put the black plug together we crossed 2 wires, the Orange witha stripe and pink with a stripe...the phot made it very hard to tell the difference. got them switched back. I also basically redid the whole plug because it would not click shut like it should. I thin this was what was causing the IGN fuse to blow, barely making a connection on the plug and possible arcing. After a thorough redo every thing is tight and works perfect. Love the new bars and riding position!! Thanks for the tips on here!! Fortunately now after doing it wrong every way possible I could bust a pair of these out in a few hours
