New bars, small issue
Installed 14" apes on 2011 fatboy lo. I had a hard time pulling the throttle side cables through. I think I may have snapped a wire or wires, I have no power to that side. I'm pretty sure that is the issue, just wanted to post this in case there is something else I should look at.

I believe the 2011 softails are the canbus correct?
I've done a bar change on a canbus bagger, but not a softail. I'm assuming the softail will have the same basic connections, but the main harness connections are at the frame neck, behind the front panel instead of in the fairing...
First thing I would do is disconnect the switchpack/throttle connectors and then the connectors at the main harness, to check that the connectors themselves haven't separated and also the continuity between the connectors.... That should confirm the problem is in the bar wiring...
If you used add-on extensions instead of new longer wire sets, the splice connector usually ends up in the bars... it could have come apart during the pull...
Good luck with the fix, and report back what you find...
