Do you know a link for a "how to" for wiring apes

Can't remember any, but the easiest way seems to be...Disconnect the battery...Snip through each existing wire, a few inches from the controls, then, when you've installed the apes, just add extra cable, soldering colour to colour, then heat shrink the joints, using a larger heat shrink to encase them all. Can't remember how many cores go to each control, but you'll see how many cores you need in the new cable when you start work. Just remember that the larger heat shrink should go an inch or so over the outer sheath of the cable for a neat appearance and strength.
