Get a mouse and tie a string on it and put some cheese on the end of the bars you want the mouse to come out of.

Then cram that damn mouse in that bar and put some heat to it's behind

Thanks Alan always appreciated coming from you! I think the bars will make a good addition to the comfort equation. The mids are nice, sometimes I think of going to reduced reach forwards, figure they may be similar to the position from my 48, but then I sit on a dyna with forwards and they're just way too far.

thanks again

Thanks Stres, yeah some type of mental block when doing anything that seems electrical for me. Hey which saddlebags are those?

You see, there was this walrus, well, we had hooked up at a bar down near Coney Island when I was on shore leave from the meat packing plant and I was, you know, (wink, nudge, grin) feeling randy, heh heh. Well that walrus was one sick bugger. Did I say sick bugger? Anyway, well, we had a bottle of pancake syrup and, well, you know how pancake syrup can be, heh, heh, heh.
Well, it didn't mean nothing at the time, hmm, syrup and walrus, hmm, good times. Good times!
You are one sick puppy Robby, I just don't know what to make of the things you say!

Thanks for the write up dude. I'm about at this threshold. Well...I'm scared of this threshold actually, but I'm stuck thinking about it. Bars, grips, throttles, internal wiring, maybe some micro switches...I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't want to screw up anything, but like yours are helping me out. Thanks for taking the time to post it all up. Fingers crossed I'll make it to the other side like you did. Looks great!

I've never needed to weight them, I put a little bend in the end to help them find the 90 degree bend in T-bars and push them right through.
I've used them on frame tubes, 18" ape hangars and Z-bars and just about any kind of internal wiring you could think of.
