I got all my money yesterday and will be making the purchase any time now.....Im like a kid on Christmas Eve now

Now that it has come time to make the purchase im getting nervous about doing the install myself. My rule generally is "I dont work on anything that can get me killed". Grinder I appreciate the offer to help with the install but im not in a position to make the drive right now. Is there anyone local to salisbury that could help with the install? I have no problem providing the beer. I thought about calling The Hawg Shop to see what they will charge for the install but I have not.

I've always heard shops charge more than what you got into the bars/cables. When I did my first set I had never even touched a soldering iron. What worked for me is that I didn't try to do it in a day. Take it slow and one step at a time and you'll be fine.

I Believe it does. I havent opened the box yet, but pretty sure its in there. I was told by a few people smarter than myself, that no push cable is necessary, so I skipped it.

Most of the bars I have looked at for my bike also fit harley. My question is if I buy a set pre-drilled for internal wiring that fit Harley will the still work with my controls.

10" Z bars, 4" risers with 2" pullback. Internally wired (pain in the arse but well worth the time for the look). Found them new on clearance at my local bike shop for $50.
