I need to know the eastiest way to put my wires inside my handle bars on a stock 2001 hertage classic...please help

I have an '05 Electra Glide (carb) with typical stage 1 and Rinehart True Duals. I ordered a set of the performance baffles as well, but have not installed them. Has anyone had any real world experience with the performance baffles vs. the stock Rinehart baffles? I e-mailed the tech guys at Bub and they tell me if I use the Performance Baffles on anything less than a 106" motor I'll suffer a performance loss.

The next scheduled upgrade is a SE Mikuni 42mm carb and SE 203 cams, adj. pushrods and SE ignition. I was considering swapping the baffles at this point but if I lose low and/or mid range performance then that will defeat the purpose all-together.

Never know - perhaps I'll have a set of baffles for sale soon.

Thanks

Hello everyboy,this is my first time here and might i say seems like a very nice board.I just bought a set of V&H Bigshot Staggered from DP about a month ago and put them on the other day.I have a 01 Fatboy with stage 1 kit,(not sure what that means bought it like that)it had some kind of long shots on them (no name) when i bought the bike.The reason i went to the V&H is cause i liked the look.The reason i made the switch is cause i had a tinny sound on the long shots when i let off the throttle.There were no baffles in them so i put some little 3 inch baffles in them and it sounded like a Honda lawnmower.I have to admit the V&H sound good but not as loud as my other pipes.My 1st question is will i lose any performance if i take the baffles out,or how about if i cut them down a few...

I thought i did it right, but when I torque down all the bolts, my wheel is hard to turn. In the shop manual it says be careful of the left right spacers. I noticed traingular marks on spacers also. One spacer is londer than other. my question. which side do the spacers go onto(by lenght) and what do the traingles indicate if anything. Im new here, so don't be too hard on me.
