As part of my winter project line-up, I finally got my handlebar swap completed. <br />
<br />
These bars are a new offering by Paul Yaffe, called their "bagger bars" (not to be confused with their monkey bars). They are dimpled and drilled for internal wiring but I didn't want to hassle with trying to run everything internally, especially dealing with the TBW on the right and the reverse wiring on the left. So I left everything external. I ended up extending all of the wiring six inches so I could keep all of the connectors in their OEM locations. I also went 6" over on the clutch cable and the upper brake line (Magnum Chromite II). Of course, I also went with all new chrome control housings and Kuryakyn trigger levers. Got to go for a nice little ride yesterday and the bike fits my six-foot tall frame much more comfortably. I went with the 10-inch handlebar, which puts the grips even with the top edge of the fairing.<br />

While my fairing was apart and my bars removed, I also installed an oil temp indicator to replace the air temp indicator, and I added the ipod interface to the stereo. No problems as far as the wiring goes, but I had a heck of a time getting the outer fairing back on.
I added a half-inch of foam to the inside of the fairing to improve the speaker audio and with the added harnesses there sure isn't a lot of room to get the fairing back on.
