I've seen a couple guys on Instagram make a cover for their risers out Kydex. (Used to make knife sheaths/gun holsters)

I thought the whole club look thing was about function over form.

That would be a pretty big ordeal. I'm sure it can be done, but this isn't the control/signal wiring....this is the dual gauge connector and wires.

You could run a handlebar bag to cover it up too. Both form and function.

The kydex idea sounds dope id like to see some pics, i just finished moving my gauge to my bars, the wiring doesn't bother me but having something there that looks slick wouldnt be bad.

Your right,, it can be done,, But the simple truth is people that want a clean look with wires and their bars don't do what your photo show's.
That's really a hack job and looks like ****, doesn't it?
If you can't deal with loosing a gauge, or moving a gauge to a different location or deal with wire extensions and pulling the wire,,
,,Don't do that.
If you want T-bars and a clean look you'll have to do the work or spend the money for other options.
(period)
Point is, some bikes just look better with a different configuration then what the owner wants.
Don't get me wrong, it's your bike do what you want,, but if you want it to look good for other people,, maybe what you want isn't the best choice. The world is funny like that,, there's winners and loser's, Participation awards aren't a lifelong deal.

Rewire the gauges with CAT5. No reason you need to have a 1" bundle of wire for gauges.
