Chubby 575's Thumbs down
#21
I have an 06 which doesn't have the wires through the bars like the newer bikes. I could be wrong but even if I tried to put the wires through the bars if it's even possible I don't think they wouldn't be long enough.
I don't have eveything back together yet, can someone tell me if my wires will go through these bars? Remember I have an 06! If they will I'll start over and wire them internally because that would help a little if I could get the grips slid on farther.

Also the harnesses may very well be TOO short. That's why you extend them youself, or buy an extension kit.
The holes in the Chubby's under where the hand controls mount are there to thread the harnesses INTO the inside of the bars. There is a third hole down at the middle of the bars for the harnesses to exit.
Pulling the harnesses through CAN be a drag, but worth it in the end.
You can do a search to find some good tutorials on how to install Chubbies on this site. I'd have been lost without them when I did mine...come to think of it, I was lost even with them.

Here's the lown down, the stock wires are long enough to go through and connect.
The left wiring harness needs to be connected behind the radio mounting plate inside the fairing and the right harness is fine where it is.
You do have to take the harness apart to route the wires. It really cleans up the handlebars.
You better be sure that you like the bars before you do this project because this ain't no easy job to undo if you don't.
The quality of these bars are as good as the quality of the D&D fatcats if you've even seen those so don't hesitate to spend the money just make sure the bars fit you because you don't want to have to start over. It's a pain in the a$$ but worth it.
