Oh yeah, and lay out your right side control and throttle wiring to see about where they'll need to sit in relation to each other once in the bars. Feed the throttle wiring in the end and pull it out the control wire slot, tape it firmly to the control wire harness (you'll be pulling on the control harness since it's longer than the throttle harness) in the position you already determined, then pull it all at once.

I used this method a bunch of times, and it works great. For a first timer I can only recommend to be careful. You get much more pulling power with a chain over a little crappy rope/cord. This results in damaged plugs and wires where a crappy rope/cord would mos likely snap before this happens.
