Mommy, Mommy!  Mobe trashed his new bike!

The bar change is quite a chore.  But the important thing now is do you think you're going to like the feel due to the difference enough to justify the change?  I probably sat there ten minutes feeling the bars in different places and just letting my hands and arms rest finding what was for me the "sweet spot."   Congrats on getting her done and hope you find the difference to be as pleasant as I have.

What can I say, I'm slow.
Actually I spent a lot of time on the heated grips. I had to modify the switch housings and the left grip. I also had to extend the grip to grip wire by about 10 inches. Then I added an extra acc switch to the switch panel and wired it in so that the grips do not receive power unless the switch is on. (I don't like the way they have you wire it in the instructions, especially since I ran all of the wires internally). I wanted to have a way to cut all power to the grips on command. I spent a lot of time pondering how to modify the grips and wires, then I spent extra time soldering connectors to everything and spent quite a bit of time cleaning since I had the bike apart.
 I also had to take time out to play with the dog, listen to some good tunes, enjoy a good brew or two and ponder the meaning of life. All in all a very relaxing day. [smiley=givemebeer.gif]

Mobe aren't you worried about running the wires inside the handlebars,  I hear the resister wires get hot and can melt the hole wire loom on that side of the bars.  Thats why HD says not for use with internal wiring.

MOBE

I see in picture 1 that you are attempting to use the screwdriver as a "BRIDGE" between the positive and negative terminals of your battery. I can tell you from experience that a longer screwdriver will accomplish the task in a much more efficient (and Sparkling) manner. I have long thought that the battery is a perfect tool tray also. I just wonder why HD doesn't put edges on the darn Batteries?

Seriously thoough....YOU HAVE GOT TO TAKE THE THING BACK APART AND USEA FULL LENGTH TO CLAMP. IF YOU DON'T THE VIBRATION WILL ( I REPEAT, WILL) CAUSE THE BARS TO CRACK AND BREAK BETWEEN THE CLAMPS. I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN ON 2 OUT OF 2 OCCASSIONS WHERE THE BARS WERE INSTALLED THIS WAY.

PCC, What clamp are you talking about? [smiley=nixweiss.gif] Are you talking about the 2 clamps that hold the bars down?     JR [smiley=laugh.gif]

He's talking about the clamp that holds the bar to the two risers.
