And it kind of sucked.

I put Slim bars on my Heritage and wanted to try them out before I ran the wires through the bars. Well almost a year and 9k miles later I finally did.

I didn't realize the tank would have to come off(mostly). I thought I could reach the connectors without removing the tank...nope. Oh' well, now I know how to take the tank off.

It actually wasn't that bad just more than I expected but it sure looks cleaner. Now for new risers and a little shorter brake line.

 

Any alternate bars on heritage draw me in for study... Specially internal cables

 

Internal wiring is just so much cleaner. Getting ready to do it on my ole lady's Sporty. Need to get bars that fit first.

 

These were fun...turn signal mirrors too.

 

I did mine back in '05. I liked the stock handlebar bend, so I drilled them on my brother's drill press for the internal wiring. I found out just how nasty stainless steel is to drill. Drilling the bars and cleaning up the holes took more time than the installation and reassembly. On an Evo Softail, the tanks are actual dual tanks, so I only needed to remove the right hand tank to reach the connectors.


I love the look, and I'm glad I did it, but I doubt I'd ever do it again. Just another reason to hang on to this bike.

 

Looks good. Love the chrome switches and housings too

 

Looks good. I watched a video where they chased the wire on similar bars with chain and it seemed to work well.

 

looks good and glad you were successful!! There is not enough alcohol or (me) patience to even think of doing those!!!!

 

I'm in the process of putting Z bars on my Slim. I'll internally wire eventually, but have other issues to overcome first.
