Hey Yogi thanks for posting this video brother I've got some apes I'm installing on my bike and it's my first time extending wiring. Thanks again brother !!
The first set I done I pulled the wires through the bars 1 at a time. I used 60lbs fishing string . I never cut T the fishing string till I got the last wire through? Lol . Took a long time.
I'm having a hell of a time trying to find extended cables for my new Rebel 1100DCT to go with the Apes I want to put on there. I may try your technique of adding wire in the middle. You should have about ten times the subscribers you have. Thanks Yogi. You're tops!
And, did it work? I'am courious because i also have a Honda Rebel 1100 dct, and i'm gonna change the bars also. I want the wiring through the bars, instead of the ugly harness outside.
That dental floss trick is pretty clever. Question though, am I able to just simply apply a mechanics twist on the wire and shrink tube it without soldering?
I wish you included in the video running back the twist grip sensor wire. 😢 the damn green connector seems too fat to pull back through. Awesome video though! It gave me motivation to try again 😂
Like the splice was hidden. I could see those bars being helpful if you had a injury and getting the grip in the right position. I an still a drag bar style guy.
Hi mate great video. I tried to do mine as well but with throttle wire I didn’t realise there are 2 wires of same colour. 2 red , 2 white and 2 black . I forgot to mark them , but dumb of me. I tried to find the wiring diagram but no luck . Do you know which way they are wired. It’s deluxe 2018
Hey my man do you have the service manual? Should have a wiring schematic in it. If not I can see what I can find tomorrow and possibly email a schematic to you
Yogi I'm trying to replace my ape hanger handle bar. I've never done this before but need your expertise because I don't want to screw it up if I can send you a video of what I have maybe you can assist me any help is greatly appreciated
I have the same thing with my 16 street bob. The actual switches are sodered In. I was wondering If there Is a specific wire gauge you use, and what kind of wiring you'd recommend for me to literally do the exact same thing you did on my street bob.
@@YogisCycleService hi mate video is very helpful . I m looking to do my deluxe 2018 flde. Shall I use the same gauge cable as you used or something better in the field now.
Hey man, I just extended my wires and now my speedo/odometer won't turn on. When turning on ignition, the EFI pump turns on but no power to speedo/odometer and controls doesn't work. What went wrong? What should I check for?
You crossed wires with the on/prime switch and potentially a throttle wire or something else. Could be in the plug if you pulled wires. I would look there first and get a wire diagram so you know colors coming from the on/prime switch and look to see if one of those is in the wrong spot in the plug first
@@YogisCycleService Thanks for fast reply. I figure out the problem, I forgot to pull the fuse and blew it. I replaced the 10a fuse and it works great. I am such an idiot lol
This is absolutely the rigged way to do it. There are way better videos out there. I can see plenty of problems with this that he edited his problems out with. There isn't anything wrong with using the same wire, but the soldering is wrong, the heat shrink is not complete, the electrical tape will only make a mess, why are the wires hanging out the top of these bars?
You are quite entitled to your opinion but I have dozens of handle bar jobs done with no issues so I am quite confident this will work. I do appreciate the input
Send me some video links of better work please. Yogi's video was pretty straight forward and seems to be a legitimate application. If you know of better videos, I'd sure like to see. Each one teach one is my motto 👍✌️
Thanks dude. You just validatedy plans for my ape install.
@@CaptainFishHead720 awesome I hope it goes well!!
Man, am I glad I saw this video before I ordered my extension kit! You just saved me a ton of money! Thank you
Awesome!!
Hi Yogi, thanks for the video👍👍What is the brand of the 3 piece handlebars?
Hey Yogi thanks for posting this video brother I've got some apes I'm installing on my bike and it's my first time extending wiring. Thanks again brother !!
Awesome!! Thanks for your post!!
A little nut tied to the floss works great as well. Just drop it in and let it fall through.
Used the floss and vacuum trick last night, total time saver!
wookiee 2 That is awesome thank you for the feedback and your comment
Great job
Thank you!
That dental floss/paracord/vacuum trick was slick. I think of so many times I could’ve use that to fish wires through stuff.
Jim Trosper ha ha. Wait till my video on Thursday. I use it again for a totally different use

Thank you!! I appreciate that and maybe some day I will lol. If not that’s fine too I am having fun

What size is the black wire your useing?
using... drop the e and add the ing.... Haha...
Thank you. Big help. 👌🏾👌🏾
Awesome
Great video definitely going to go for it!
That dental floss trick is pretty clever. Question though, am I able to just simply apply a mechanics twist on the wire and shrink tube it without soldering?
You probably can but if the bars are tight and the wire gets held up a solder will hold up better when pulling the wire
Thanks for the tip. Also what gauge of wire should I buy to extend my wiring?
I wish you included in the video running back the twist grip sensor wire. 😢 the damn green connector seems too fat to pull back through. Awesome video though! It gave me motivation to try again 😂
Yes, I wound up cutting out the green connector and just soldering the wires together to save space
Like the splice was hidden. I could see those bars being helpful if you had a injury and getting the grip in the right position. I an still a drag bar style guy.
Is there anything wrong with splicing a 20 gauge or 22 gauge and lengthening with 18 gauge?
Amen brother.
do you have to saughter? can you just twist them on to each other and shrink wrap over it?
I would highly recommend it as you know it will never be a problem going forward especially if you pull the wires through the bars.
#Yogi ? What was the brand name on those Meathooks ? Have a link ? Great video !
Yes I will post one shortly for ya
I also want to know what these bars are please and thank you
Spear head by KST Kustoms
Yogi you all right.
Thank you!
awesome such a simple way to do it idk why i never thought of this thank you sir🫡
Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Was told the wires get cut in the sharp corners of the meat hook apes any experience with that ?
Yes that is very true depending upon the maker of the bar

I used 18 gauge wire from the auto parts store. Same stuff used for stereo installs

@@lovablevietboy good glad it was a easy fix!!
What is the wire that was used on this?
Regular automotive wire, 18 gauge I believe it was
It would be easier if you staggered the soldier joints so they don't try and pull through the bend at the same time.
Yes and that’s what I usually do. Thought I did that here also but maybe not
KST Custom is just down road fom me .
Thats awesome. I must say I was pleased with their product. They make some good stuff.
@@YogisCycleService that they do was hoping to get to interview them tour shop but this China virus hit
The Blue Bike & Doyle hmmm I would like to see that too. Let me know if you don’t mind me tagging along. I might have to ride down for that
@@YogisCycleService yeah I need to call them see what I can doo
@@TheBlueBikeDoyle Its a 5 hr ride so if thats the case give me some heads up if you dont mind because thats a full day
Wished I could have watched this before I did mine I bought the wiring kit.
Lol sorry my friend. Timing, its everything I suppose
That handle bar is sketchy
