I've purchased, inch & a quarter wide westerns from Burleigh Bars to fit my 08 King, the dealer wants $99 an hour to fit , i'd like to do the job myself ,Dave at Burleighs says I should'nt need any extra length in fittings, I'd like to know is there any tricks in removing & replacing the electric throttle? What is the easyist way to run the internal wires, should I cut & add extra length to wires, run them through & rejoin them ? I'm also fitting aileron grips & chrome switch caps, is there any tricks to fitting these ? any help would be appreciated as I'm 2 hours from dealer.
G/day Kiwidave, thanks for your help,I'm hoping to get around to fitting them this week, should be a good job for the evenings,muchly appreciated your help,wobble
Hi Kustomtown, i'll try, but i'm an old fart and not very good at posting pics,my last & only try is in the classifieds, i've got a '98 King advertised , i can't get the size right,& battled to get the pic on there, seems a fairly hard task to master
G/day Scotty, thanks for your reply, now i'm really pulling my hair out, but thanks heaps
G/day Scotty, thanks for the reply, I took the headlight nacelle off today & theres plenty of length in the wiring, I'd like to know how to unlock the wiring conector,I think i then should be able to remove the socket pin terminals & feed the wiring back down the new bars,Do you have a part number for the internal throttle grip sensor ? Why can't i reuse the original internal throttle grip sensor ? your help is much appreciated
Scotty, thanks again, I downloaded the PDF, I'll try tomorrow to do a bit more,
I took longer to fit the bars,waiting on helpers, got them on, on sunday 9 Nov, Scotty was right, it took 6-10 hours, I was able to reuse the electronic throttle sensor, i had to extend all the other wires but not the ETS wires, the chrome caps & aileron grips were easy to fit, it looks good, i'll try to post pics soon,
I would like to thank all who tried to help,& this forum for making it possible
I've got pics of the bars,
