Thanks for the vid's you two! It's awesome watching everything come together. Reminds me so much of all the work I've done with my old bikes, in house (no dealer mechanics). I'm sure you'll agree that sometimes, these bikes are a love/hate relationship, but so worth the end results. Love seein how you work together! Keep er between the lines and the shiney side up.... :)

that s a pretty detailed video. good info . thanks btw , did anybody use the cable extenders from Harley ? doesn t seem like there s room for more plugs underneath that rubber protection. any thoughts? I m trying to put 12' apes on a 07 Fat boy but I rather get the prewired handle bars

[@VPCustoms]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! Prewired definitely makes the process much less time consuming, I went that route on my 2001 Nightrain. I think with some craftiness you could sneak in some more plugs under there. Good luck!

The wiring connectors have a barb that you’re collapsing, so when you re insert the wires into the connector, you might have to gently lift the lock back up from being collapsed or they won’t stay locked in to the connector.

Chain goes through quick but try cord to pull it through or something smooth like fishing line. My fave is cord cause you can tie easily to wires then black tape. If they’re small diameter , ky lube will work well then dry out better than Vaseline.
