East Side PM me if you need the PYO tips for installation. I also have the tbw wiring set up.

 

I just picked some 10s up on EBay (americanclassicmotors) today as well...reading as much as I can now about the installation. Going to try it myself, so if anyone has tips, please, please share.

 

I installed the bars Saturday. I did not use any wire extensions and I did not change the clutch cable or install new brake lines. I did have to reroute the wiring connectors inside the fairing.

I followed Yaffee's wiring instructions and had no issues wiring the left side. I did have problems with the right side. I ran the TBW wires (I bought the SE TBW) and was pulling the wires for the right side controls when the pull wire tore through the heat shrink. I had to remove everthing on the right side and start over. I finally got it using the push-pull method with lots of spray silicone.

I rode about 30 miles Sunday and so far I am happy.

looks GREAT.....

a few questions...
how tall are you?...how is the reach?
how does the Black finish Match the HD Vivid Black? it looks like you have the painted inner fairing... tough to tell from computer pics...

 

I'm barely 6'. I haven't been able to go for a long ride but I think they are tall enough. Yes the inner fairing is vivid black. A real challenge trying to take a decent photo. The black bars blend right in and they smudge up easy.

 

So the 10" you don't need cables or TBW extension but they block the mirrors. The 12" you can use your fairing mirrors but do you need cables and TBW extension? If so which cables?

 

You do not need to extend wires with 12s. You will want to get rid of the green TBW plug. +8 on the clutch and +6 on the brake will be fine. You can use your mirrors with 12s.

 

Can you explain a little more? Get rid of it and replace with what?

I have changed bars on pre TBW but this is all new to me.

Thanks!

The stock TBW has a plug half way down the harness that is difficult to feed through the bars. HD sells one that doesn't have the plug or I suppose you could solder the connection.
