Might save you a trip but, wires are normally color coded, white with a colored stripe down it and so on, look close, the colors can fade. could be any combination. Your best bet on these things is to go wire by wire one by one!!!
It's a learning curve. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. Just cut my wires on my street bob to do some internal wiring on the new bars. Make sure to check all those wires again because there should be no problems if there all reconnected properly. Good luck
