To the guys that have installed wild1 575 bagger bars: I am having a hard time running the right switch wiring loom through the bars with the TBW conector and loom.

1. Do I install the TBW loom first, than try to run the switch harness through past the TBW connector in the bars, or,

2. Should I remove the wiring loom sheath from the loom? Is it safe to run these wires through the bars without the thick loom sheath?


I also tried running both the switch wiring loom and TBW loom at the same time. I had 2 strings run through the bars tied to each loom so I could pull at the same time of pushing into the bars, and even wetted everything down with windex to make it more slippery but the TBW connector binds against the switch wiring loom in the turn of the handlebars.

Any advise from guys that have done this would really be appreciated

 

I removed the wiring loom sheath and tightly wraped the loom with electrical tape and it finally went through the bars.

 

HOFFY...We Needs Pics Man! This is what I'm planning to do in the next few months!

Ride safe, Mike

 

It's easier if you buy the 32310-08 sensor. But then again, less expensive to do it your way

 

Go figure! I studied this job all winter and had no idea there was a replacement sensor that is longer. I know about the wiring extensions for the sensor but I knew the sensor connector would still be in the same place in the bars and the over all length of the oem sensor is long enough for these bars. If I knew there was a replacemnet sensor( I assume the sensor connector loom is longer so the connector is outside the bars), I would have paid any amount to save me from what I went through. I had no idea I had this much patience.

Sorry Mike, I haven't figured out how to upload pictures yet. But I'll tell you what, I learned a lot. For instance: I will never do this job again!! It took me 2 full days just to change the switches over to chrome housings, change the switch caps to chrome, run the wires through the bars and attach the switch housings, clutch and master bracket all to the bars. I even had to spend 2 whole hours on one single molex pin that unlocked but would not come out of the plastic connector. Thank god I didnt loose my cool and just rip it out, beleive me I seriuosly thought about it, and I would have taken the switch to the dealer for that one stuck pin. But I am bound and determined to not give in and do this whole job myself.

When you get ready to do the same job just PM me for my phone number. I have some good tips that will save you time that I wished I had done. LIke I said, I learned a lot doing this. 20 years ago I was G.M. technician, you'd think I could have done this faster but I guess between my bad eyes and old foggy brain it wasn't happening fast.

 

OH SON OF B--CH! That really hurts! I would have bought that sucker faster than a high school senior taking off a prom dress!!

 

Not trying to steal your post but I'm looking to do the same job this week on my 09 Ultra. I've done a couple bar swaps in the past (no Ultra's) and always had to remove the stock exhaust. The 09 exhaust looks further away from the clutch release cover. I'm thinking that I could get away with removing the heat shield and use a ball ended hex to remove the fasteners from the clutch release cover. Is this just wishful thinking? Waiting on the 32310-08 sensors to arrive and have +4 clutch cable in hand. Any other concerns I should be aware of?

 

Yes, you can just remove the shield on 09's
