i'm running wires through some wild 1 inc road king bars and i briefly contemplated trying to do this without removing the tank and all lines and connections. but i realized it will just add more pain, so i removed the tank completely first before going forward.

i have more to add, the wires had to be extended so i soldered all 12 with 16 guage primary wire extensions.

as for the main fuel line you could just take it to NAPA and they'll sell you any length for a couple bucks.

I never mess with anything with any plastic content in cold weather. It's too susceptible to breakage.

 

That's quite a change from planet of the Apes!

 

Sometimes short cuts cause problems. I am lucky enough to have a couple of friends who are HD mechanics. I now ask them if there are any tricks or pitfalls when I go to do something I haven't done before on either of my bikes. They has saved me some potential problems and expenses through his knowledge.

 

May be the title should be, I am a moron who should not touch tools!

 

 

Yeah yeah yeah, the line was brittle to begin with, it was breaking apart when I took it off. Its a $45 part mind you. PS, my garage is heated.

 

It's funny ya say that cause I just freshly broke my fn patio umbrella tonight. Just what I needed.

It's not Coolbreeze's problem though with the heated g-rage.

 

I saw the title to this thread and thought you were trying to PM me!
