These bars were easy to pull wires in compared to the PY OEM's they're replacing. I'll tell ya, I don't know how folks are not installing a new clutch cable and brake line with these bars. I also went out a picked up the screaming Eagle TBW unit and had to extend that as well.
Quality piece of work, Factory 47.:D:D View attachment 236026

Longer cables lines or wires aren't necessary on the 2015+, but older bikes like yours pictured need extensions for the 14"+ bars. Devil's in the details my friend. >:)

I ordered mine Jan 25th from their sight, called on 4 days later to make sure they got the order and asked if they could give me an estimate for the ship date. I got an email from them saying ship date would be march 8th or earier......I am hoping for much earlier

Not sure, but I would say supply and demand and shipping are factors in the timeframe. Fortunately where I live and when I ordered them they took just over 2 weeks. But they've become one of the most popular bars for the new sharks, so I am sure they're swamped with orders. Silver lining is in central Illinois I am guessing the riding possibilities are limited right now though huh?

I am looking at somewhere in AZ but the cost of living looks pretty good in TX. as long as you stay out of the major cities.

They told me the same, but they arrived in less than a week. I absolutely LOVE them.
I hope mine come earlier than they said too. Would like to take my time putting them on. Going to be a test of patience for me. But with Donks write up looks pretty straight forward, just need to take time on the wiring.
Hoping my cables work with out changing them out.

Have you seen the two install videos from Factory 47?

Be sure and watch the video I posted on changing the bars out. It goes a little more in depth of removing the switch button and splitting the controls. Really helps with that puzzle.

I have seen a couple different ones but they were both installs on a 2015 I have a 12 and think they are a little different. Threading the wires has to be easier with the 1 1/2 diam. bars though

This lays it out pretty good for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr90KPZ7gHQ
Thanks Smarty I watched it, wish the 13s and older were that simple lol, not that they are a whole lot harder but all the molex connectors are inside the fairing and they are all too big to pull through the bars. SO you have 3 to take apart and put back together. No big deal just a little more labor.

Sorry about that, I didn't catch that it wasn't a Rushmore bike.
