DIY Changing Handlebars.....HELP!!
Has anyone changed the stock handlebars of their Deluxe by themselves??? I am trying to keep the cost of changing the bars down. I plan to put Apes on the bike and was wondering if I can do the work by myself. I am handy, but am unsure of what specific parts are needed.
handlebars
risers
where to purchase cables??
How to remove the after market grips which the dealer put on for me and reuse them??

doin it my self saved me at least 300 bucks. Something that really helped me was buying new switches, which come with 60" of wire already attached. just slide the wire thru the bars and attach the new connector and snap it into the bike. BTW you dont have to remove the tank completely. just remove the rear torx and front cross bolt and slide the tank back. good luck, and like the Doc said theres plenty of write ups on here on how to do this.
oh and the only thing about the aftermarket grips is getting the throttle and idle cables into the grip.

Re
Weed eater line and soapy water in a spray bottle work great for pulling the wires thru the bars. You'll have to lengthen the wiring . Having the connector tools are a huge plus unless you just want to cut, solder and shrink wrap. Just took off the apes for the street slammers on my FLSTC. Did the same on previous FatBoy.

Looking forward to diving into same project on the wife's Deluxe. Been looking forward to it for alonggggggggg time.
Right now I'm stalling her by saying it's riding season and it's better to wait till winter. That excuse worked last summer too.
Good luck with your project
