Default PYO monkey bars

After two days I finished the installation of the PYO monkey bars.... All I have to say that it was not easy! But, I thank those who placed their guide and expertise on this site it made all the difference.... Once again thank you.... This is what helped me during the installation: (1) Baby Powder. (2) I used two pieces of wire clothing hanger, one with the end bend like a hook and the other like the "L" shape. (3) A very small screw driver used to push the wires inside the bars and (4) uncapping the plugs in order to feed the cables though the handle bars....

Here are some pictures:

I think it was total of 6 hours just to wire the bars.... It took several tries to get it right but it all worked out for me. The toughes part was feeding the wires with the swrink rap.

WOW! I bought mine from CATEYE CUSTOMS out Rusellville, AR and it took them to send me the right ones a total of three weeks and that after I've recieved the wrong bars "MMB" for the batwing model. The box was marked wrong and they took care of right away.

Yep. Been there done that. It takes patience, but imagine how much you save in labor? I figured I saved at least $500 if not more. Good job Man. Looks good

There is no way that I would drop between $500-$800 for labor on any work. I have tools and two hands "thank God" I could manage doing it myself....
