  • After I bought higher handlebars for my Sportster 883, I learned that my wiring was too short. I needed to extend the wires another 8" with a kit I bought.
    I couldn't find a video to help me disconnect the OEM wires from the harness! So, here's my humble attempt to help.

    You just saved tons of people from headaches, broke parts, and god knows whatever else will happen when trying to figure out what you have done. Thank you!!

    1:58 into your video is what I wasn't aware of. I've been screwing with a similar under seat plug for over a week. Once you showed how the bottom of that connector comes apart, I was finally able to get the wire out of the plug. Thank you very much.

    Well you saved my husband a ton of headaches and myself cause it’s my bike he is working on. He would rather be doing anything else than putting on my new handlebars. Thank you very much

    Thankyou for your video explaining how to remove those wires. Like yourself I couldn't find any video how to do this and have spent 2 days scratching my head on how it comes apart. Thankyou again.

    Holy crap man! I spent like 4 hours trying to figure out how that works I had my tank off handle bars off everything and I could not figure out how those wires pop off and I couldn’t find anything on that. Until I finally found your vid! I’m going to try again and replace my handle bars!

  • @leokavanaugh9889

    There is a tool for removal of the wire connector pins from Molex connectors but they are rather expensive. I use a #1 paper clip in the small hole just above the connector pin. Then you will hear a click and the pin will come right out. Nice video. Thanks.

    @gomango_6.468 Před rokem +1

    This was so helpful. I thought they wanted me to stick the extension in the plug it’s self. I was so confused as to why they would do that because it was so bulky. Never crossed my mind to take it apart lol

    • @JasonByers77
      @JasonByers77  Před rokem +1

      I know others who have cut the wires and that would have been disastrous for me! Glad it helped.

    SHIT! I got so frustrated I took my harness to harley. They wouldnt show or tell me how to do it but were more than happy to charge me $70.00 to do
    it. That was 2 days ago before I found your video. Now im trying to get my harness though my new 12" meat hook apes.

  • @apagliuso80
    @apagliuso80 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Excellent, but you don't need to disassemble the back of the connector, just lift the latch and insert a thin paper clip into the corresponding hole, and that's it, the wire is free. We have an extension brand in Brazil called Pandilla Cables, their kits include a tool and an instruction manual.

    It's in the repair manual. There is actually special tool called "molex pin release tool" that you stick in that little hole on top of the pin hole in the front. But tiny screwdriver works too, or paper clip.

Lol I watched your video watched it again as I did it on my plug wire came right out. I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for making the video because who knows how long it would’ve taken me to figure that out. Lol definitely gonna share this knowledge with other people
