Default Riser Plate or Wrap to hide wires?

Besides a fairing, what do people use to hide the gauge wiring that runs between the risers on taller Tbars? I feel like I've seen some kind of wrap or a plate. Here's a couple pics I swiped off of google just to show what I'm talking about.

I did the same thing. I use hockey tape over it so that it's not shiny. My fairing hides most of it though luckily.

Internally wiring the bars or bars and risers is what a lot of people do

Yup, internal for a cleaner look.

This guy? If you can wire through the bars that'd be best.

Almost any bike with the mickey mouse set up I've seen, all have the wiring how you pictured. Internally wiring the speedo and tach would not only be a pain with your switches already ran internally (super tight fit) but you would need to cut into the bars to even be able to get the wiring where it needs to be to get the gauges hooked back up.

I think it turns into one of those things you either think outside the box, get a fairing, or learn to live with it. I don't think it looks bad as long as its all cleaned up as pictured.

Yeah, I've see a few pics on Instagram I can't remember where...it was a long tall rectangular plate that made the space appear solid. Someone else did a wrap that looked like the cloth wrap that goes across the crossbar on a Huffy handlebar pad or somethin
