Default Another Deluxe with Beach Bars

Procrastinated long enough on getting the Burley's. Looked through numerous threads about beach bars, put my parts list together, found my big boy pants and started wrenching on the bike. Four days and a phone call later, she is done. FYI wiring sucks.

Looks great! Yeah, that wiring is a lot of fun, eh? Not.

Looks good. Do you know how much longer you had to go on cables and wiring? I'm about to do some too

+2 on the cables
+4 on the harness extensions

Buy extra shrink wrap, go slow, draw your own diagram of the pin layout even though they are color coded, make sure you have the plug "****" oriented correctly before pushing the pins in, check that the lights-turn signals-horn work BEFORE you put the tank back on ( grateful I did as I had a broken pin ). Be ready to use your grown up vocabulary, prepare your kids for said vocabulary if they are in the area.

Thanks for the compliments.

That looks great, and doing it yourself is the best.
