WARNING

Rider and passenger safety depend upon the correct installation of this kit. Use the appropriate service manual procedures. If the procedure is not within your capabilities or you do not have the correct tools, have a Harley-Davidson dealer perform the installation.

This instruction sheet references service manual information. A service manual for your model motorcycle is required for this installation and is available from a Harley-Davidson dealer.

Installation Requirements

WARNING

Rider and passenger safety depend upon the correct installation of this kit. If the procedure is not within your capabilities or you do not have the correct tools, have a Harley-Davidson dealer perform the installation. Improper installation of this kit could result in death or serious injury. (00308b)

Separate purchase of additional parts or accessories may be required for proper installation of this handlebar kit on your model motorcycle. Refer to the latest Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories and Genuine Motor Parts catalog for a list of required parts or accessories for your model.

Loctite® 271 (Red) Threadlocker and Sealant (99671-97) is required for the proper installation of this kit.

Fresh, uncontaminated brake fluid is also needed. Refer to your owner's manual or the service manual to determine the correct brake fluid.

WARNING

Replace brake line gaskets. Re-using original gaskets can cause brake failure and loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00318a)

For models that reuse the original brake line, the two sealing gaskets found at each banjo fitting must be replaced. Refer to the appropriate Parts Catalog or see a Harley-Davidson dealer for the correct part numbers.

Motorcycles equipped with a glued left side hand grip require a new grip, sold separately. Refer to the Parts Catalog for replacement stock hand grips.

Ask a Harley-Davidson dealer about the selection of Genuine Motor Accessory hand grips that are available.

REMOVAL

See the service manual for removal procedures.

INSTALL

See the service manual and follow the wiring procedures.

Handlebar Installation

See the service manual and follow the installation procedures.

NOTE

This installation is not compatible with heated hand grips so the shorter, heated handgrip portion of the twist grip sensor wiring WILL NOT BE USED in this installation. Those wires can be cut short and taped off to avoid interference with the installation, or left bundled and taped inside the handlebar.

1.	Tape the ends of the longer pair of harness bundles together tight enough to be passed easily through the handlebar. Apply a light coat of liquid soap, window cleaner, or all-purpose lubricant to the twist grip sensor wire bundle.
2.	NOTE The twist grip sensor must be fully seated for correct function. See Figure 2. Feed the twist grip sensor wire bundle into the right-side handlebar end and toward the large opening in the center of the bar, while fitting the index tabs on the twist grip sensor into the slots on the end of the handlebar. Different-sized tabs and slots prevent improper assembly.

1	Center wiring hole
2	Upper switch mounting screw
3	Lower switch mounting screw
4	Position inside switch edge pinch point above wires and hole in handlebar
5	Keep wires clear of pinch points near threaded post
6	Twist grip sensor
