Just use the how to's and get them internally wired...you will not regret it!!!! looks so much better. Get rid of the green connector too...it's an easy soldering job. So what if it takes some time.... my outlawz were 8 hrs . one day and a few the next because i got 2 wires reversed in the plug.... I would do it all again tomorrow they are so nice!!!!!!

Default Replace connectors

After Christmas I installed 12" Outlaws on my '09 FLTRSE3. The installation was made much easier by using a clutch cable (purchased at NAPA) to pull the wires after first cutting off the Molex pins. There are 12 wires in the left handle bar and 18 in the right if you use the heated grip wires. Then I installed new Deutsch connectors and pins. Saved hours attempting to thread the original wires with Molex pins, which would bend. The Outlaws are basically 1' bars with a 1/4" sleeve. I have friends who have spent over 7 hours just attempting to tread original wires. Now I wish I had gone to 14" Outlaws, but that would have required new hydralic clutch and brake lines.

Well guys, its not that I didn't want to, or was nervous about doing it, I was just going to wait until I had more time to do it, like winter. I've done internal wiring on other bikes of mine and buddies bikes, none with this many wires or TBW though. I'll maybe get 1-1.5 hours a day with my work schedule and just wasn't planning on having the bike down for a week or more. Thanks for the votes of confidence, and yes, without this great forum and Donk's pics, I would have been confused on the dis and re assembly of the connectors. Time to get to it, pics when I finish.
