While pressing on the pin release tabs gently pull the wires one at a time out of the plug.

using a small flat blade screw driver pop the plastic insert out about an 1/8". By doing this you can push the wires forward from behind to take the tension off the pin latches.

Plastic insert popped out. when taking the plug apart remove this plastic insert completely by gently prying it out. it comes out easy.

I know the insert is still in place here, but with it removed you can look inside the plug and see the little latches that hold the pins in place. I used a small jewelers screwdriver to release the pin and at the same time push it out the back using a paper clip.

The new bars ready to be wired. You only have to remove the plugs on the TBW sensor. The other plugs are small enough to fit.through the bars. Spray plenty of lube into the bars to help slide the wires through.

I used weed whacker line. It's stiff but flexible. I taped the wires in the middle of the weed whacker line so that I could push and pull on the line both ways if something got hung up in the bars.

TBW sensor wires going into the bars. The wires came through the bars pretty easy, but remember push the wires first and then pull on the weed whacker line.

TBW sensors wires coming out of the bars. I staggered the switch wires and the TBW wires and pulled them through together. It's much easier than trying to do them.separately.

This is the left side switch wires. It's not shown here but i taped the wire and plug completely. These pulled through very easily.

Once the wires are threaded through the bars you can put the TBW Plug back together.

It really is as easy as orientating the pins correctly and pushing them into the hole until you hear a CLICK.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought the switch wire extensions. There is enough play in the switch wiring but you have to remove the plug caddy, release the plugs (not pins), cut a bunch of zip ties, pull the switch wires to the back and and re-zip tie them. it was probably the worst part of this whole project.

Reassemble in reverse. Don't forget to use blue loctite thread locker on the handlebar bolts and the fairing castle bolts. Sorry there aren't any good pictures of the reassembly but i saw the light at the end of the tunnel and forgot to take pictures! lol

During the reassembly i found that when the clutch and brake master cylinders are pushed all the way up against the step in the bars it was impossible to rotate them forward to suit your particular liking.

These bars are the same width and about a half inch higher than stock bars, so the stock mirrors still work just fine.

Having raced motocross and enduro's for many years (when I was younger), I like the bars being lower than my shoulders. Not only is it more comfortable, I have better control over the bike.
