575's and internal wiring - yes, another question
Sorry folks, but i need a little more info before i start.
I am going to add 4" to clutch, brake, and throttle cables - i have decided i do not want to re-route, bend or stretch anything.
Wiring in bars - do I have enough wires already in place, or will I need to add some wire? If i do have to add wires what method did you use...1) in the middle, or 2) on the ends.
What I am use to doing is cutting the wires in somewhere in the middle, addingthe needed wire, and solderingback together with heat shrink tubing. Ihave put wires inbars several times, but this is my first HD. I am comfortable with either method, just want to learn from what others have done.
Does HD (or anyone else)make it easy and sell a pre-madeextension wire set up?
Again, thanks for any feedback...you guys arefull of great information.
Thanks,
Artie

You will have to extend them. I've added about 10 inches to the middle of the harness on both sides. You don't need that much, but it's a nice even number. Stagger the cuts to keep the bundle smaller.
Also, look around and you'll find the directions on how to remove the wires from the plug ends. It's kinda a pain...
Good luck

I installed the 575's on my 07 Ultra. First do not cut the wires it is not needed. When you run them through the bars they worked great no additional wire needed. I did a + 4 on clutch and +2 on throttle/cruise made by Barnett. I removed the terminals from the plug and re-installed after I ran them through the bars. This is not a easy task but avoids having a splice in the bars. HD and others make a tool to remove terminals from the plugs that makes it very easy one you get one. check out your HD service manuel and stop by dealer to see what they use.
575's are way more comfortable it was worth it. On another note depending on which bike you have HD makes a tapered clamp that the dealer did not know about. Call or e-mail Wild one and they will give you the part #

The little plastic pin remover is only a couple of bucks from CAT dealer but I'm not sure how much from HD.
A mini jewler's flat bladed screw driver worked fine here removing the terminals. When you remove the Orange wedge, next to each pin is a small latch, gently pry the latch back and remove the terminal.
I have NOT installed my 0575's yet, but I have mine apart and the wiring harnesses seem to be plenty long enough.

For the 575's (which are not Apes obviously) YouDO NOTneed to extend the wires just as skykingFLHTCU mentioned.
Sorry for the misinformation on my part....
