handlebar install help needed
I'm putting 14" KlipHangers on my 2014 TriGlide. I would never wish this on anyone, I see reasons to use plain bars. After going thru all I have so far, I would never let a dealer do it.
I knew to use the cvo TBW, but stopped researching before people posted about the pins not matching, oh well, I can crimp new females on.
Delima- which connector is the TBW, the one under the radio?, the colors match all diagrams, 6 male pins.
If this is correct I am really puzzled, if not, I have no idea which connector.
puzzled, the original end from the bike had the same pins and i do not know how it ever plugged in. I am sure I marked this one, but any thing can be wrong at this point.
thanks

The TBW is the square 6-pin connector in the center of your picture.
The new CVO connector is the opposite of the one you took off - meaning the bike & the CVO TBW both have a female end.
De-pin the old male connector on the TBW you removed, de-pin the female connector from the new CVO TBW and switch them, making sure you keep the wiring the same.
You will also need new pins as the pins in the Rushmore models are slightly larger then the pins pre-rushmore.
Yes, it would be simple if HD just made the new correct connector for the new Rushmore bikes.

(I may have these backwards)
The pre Rushmore the bars had the female end coming from the TBW & plugged into the male end on the bike
The Rushmore had the opposite - the male end coming from the TBW & the female end on the bike.
The ones you removed (in your pic) look to be from the male end (assuming the TBW side on your old TBW cable you removed)
You bought a pre Rushmore CVO TBW cable that had the female end - thus you need to reuse the old male end that was on your Rushmore with new male pins so that it plugs into the female end on your bike.
Use the diagram Crimson13 posted & you should be fine
Make sure the yellow sleeved colored cables are on top & black are on bottom.

It would take to long to count all the service manuals I have since 1975.
Actually I had all 4 service manuals 5 months before I brought home the trike.(plus other versions)
What my blurred picture shows is what puzzles me, I took that off of my 2014 hooked to the the grn connector TBW, it has male ends, the connector under the radio has male ends, how was it hooked up the last 1 1/2 years? A fluke? a miracle it ran?
would males in a female connector plugged into males in a male connector work for 1 1/2 years? I should be able to splice my ends I took off onto the new cvo wire, but the terminals are all male .
If you think that is confusing you should be here in person seeing it.
I thank you guys, but help me understand that.

puzzle solved, I searched until I found the correct 2014 wire boxed under my table. I had pulled my 2012 takeoff TBW to compare, not remembering it was the complete assy.
a couple more days, I can't ride anyway, my neighbor/powder coater is set up in Sturgis and has a couple parts to keep me from riding !!!.
thanks
