Default handlebar wiring?

if i were to want to set up a complete second set of bars to make it easier to swap. couldn't i just purchase the TBW unit and the two cables that go to each of the switch assemblies and just leave the wiring and grips on each bar? i would just need the three wiring connectors correct (TBW and each switch housing wire)?

this is for a 16 RGS

Good idea to have everything ran first, but it's been a few years and i dont remember every little thing you'd need, But there are a few good bar install threads in this forum and you could figure it out. I had the heated grips to contend with also but like said that's a good idea!

You are correct. If you don't mind dropping the coin for the spare TBW and two switch wire looms your plan would work great.

Especially in light of the fact you are reducing the wear and tear on the wires from not having to pull them through the bars twice (originals once out - once in).
