ill get those pics for ya asap. The harley bars with the seperate rises are the easiest way to go. Looking back I probably would have done that even though I love the bars I got. The reason you have to get to the wiring harness is not for the speedo... thats fine. Its the controls on the left and right side. They are fed through the handlebars to make for a cleaner look. The wires run on the outside of the bars for the stock ones. Sure..... you could just cut the control wires and butt splice them but then you will notice it and leave the window open for bad connections. So... when you dig into the frame you can find the plug for each sides harness. Disassemble the harness and get each individual wire out, run it through the handlebars, reconnect the plug and put it back together. Doing it that way keeps everything just like it was coming from the factory except for the fact that you now have the f-ing coolest bars out there. Long winded but I think you get the point

blz2503, the harness plug is located under the gas tank. I have not done this, but what I have read you can unbolt the tank and slide it back a couple inches to get at the plug. Before you de-pin wires from plug draw a pic or write down which color wire goes in the plug.
