Thank you! I have watched countless diy handlebar wiring videos, and yours is by far the best - a regular guy showing other regular guys how to make it work. Gosh, you are good. Subscribed.

I found this video a year later but for any future viewers wanted to add a couple handy trips I came across. 1 if your a fisherman, clamping a weight to cord helped get it through, 2 on the right side joining both the lines to the TBW and the controls wire was very convenient. Then just push and pull those agonizing inches past the hook. I don't know if I will choose to DIY any bars again, especially past hooks or sharp corners. Ride safe

Fellow Navy vet here. Thanks for your service. I bought a set of 12" KST Mayhem Baggers for my 2020 Tri Glide. I was going to send them back to KST to have them do the wiring. You saved me over $200. I never would've thought about using Vaseline. It definitely made things a whole lot easier.

I’m adding KST meat hooks on m Indian Roadmaster, one side has three connectors, one larger, one medium and a small connector. I think two are bundled together (I’ll relook once home) do you usually fish them through one at a time if more than two? I thought about individually or staggering them together but to where the connectors are separated enough not to bind. I’ve done easier bars prior, but not these meathook bars. TIA OEM are off, going to try later today.

I fish them through one at a time. Be sure to apply a light coat of Vaseline to the lines...makes it much easier to slide them through. I believe Finesse the Challenger has made a few handlebar install videos for Indian. You may want to check them out too

I'm not sure what question you have about the chain, let me know and I can post a picture on Instagram. I found that nylon rope works better than the type used in the Factory 47 video. The key points that I hoped to make in the video: 1.5" diameter bars are much easier to pull wires through, using vaseline makes it even easier to pull the wires, 12" (and larger) bars require extensions/replacements of cables. I always edit videos to keep them as brief as possible, however illl try to answer any questions. I can't stress enough 1.5" bars make the job so much easier compared to 1.25" bars.
