Got a stupid question, although I've probably exceeded my stupid question quota!
Putting new bars on the new trike, ordered wire extensions this time around to ease install and my mind. The extensions just plug into the wire ends inside the fairing, correct?
Just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly
Thanks all
Yup, unplug the bar wires from the jacks inside; change out bars. Put the bars back on, plug the plugs into the extensions and the extensions into the original jacks and you're done.
Not sure if the wiring is different for the TBW between the '17s and my '13 and if there is disregard...
On mine when I changed the bars, the TBW sensor had a small connector inside the bars that was accessible when you removed the sensor on the OEM bars. The lower part of the harness then fed through to inside the fairing to a larger connector. Be careful when you disconnect the small connector that is inside the bars as the latch breaks very easily... I know...

Good luck with your change out.

When I did my 16 I was surprised that there was not a green connector on the TBW...
Harley I believe did away with that nightmare in 2014 and replacement units possibly before that I changed mine without breaking it added a little dielectric lube to keep water out. ride safely Fred
