Default Changing out handlebars ?

I put klockwerks back bars on an '08 SG and really liked them but due to internal wire labor was stupid expensive.


Looking at the 2015 models it has wires running up both side of the bars external, so I'm wondering if installing bars is easier ?


Anybody done it yet ?

Several threads of '14's done with pictures if you search for them, 15's are the same, you can run wires internal if you wish. it was much easier on my '14 than previous years for me.
I changed to 10" Yaffe Bagger Bars using Namz wire extensions. 3 hrs & less than $150, well worth it for me.

I think I would do Back Bars again so no wire extension for me.

Search for a thread started by user bpd138. He has an excellent photo journal of his bar upgrade. Great pics and well explained.
