RE: MY APE INSTALL
Well I used the How to and it great so far. I have not completely finished it because I called JPCycle for the parts and thier catalog is in correct on the Motion Pro parts for the Street Bob. I got them and was ready to install and then noticed that they appeared to be the same size as the originals, or reall close. I called them and talked with them (JPCycle) and explained to them that the catalog is incorrect by part numbers shown and well truns out I was right. So I did alot of further investigating and from another person here found a page that shows the length they are at stock and then what they should be and from that discovered that the Wide Glide has the exact same size of cables, so I just ordered a set of new cables from JPCycle for the Wide Glide parts. JPcycle was great, they 3 day air shipped the new parts at thier costs. So until they get here, I have installed the bars, grips, brake line and clutch but I did have an idea when I was doing the wiring. I actually was able to not use the extension kit. What I did was take the duetsch connector apart and following the instructions listed here, I pulled them through the bars then with the connector apart I took the female side that is connected to the bike and pushed it up through the hole where the rubber grommet was removed and then reinstalled the male side of the duetsch connector and then just connected it up and pushed it back into the hole and re-installed the rubber grommet. The extension was not needed, but would not hurt to use it, just has alot of extra wire to hide is all. Other than this, I followed the instructions and must say it is great and worked awesome! So thanks again for the great write up!

Just wanted fo first off say thanks for such an informative post, that took most of my anxiety away from doing my conversion to internally wired beach bars. No longer afraid of the deutsch connectors anymore.
Thanks for the pics. Also wanted to reply to keep this in my profile.
Thanks again bro!
