Default Need some advice on bar wiring.

I plan on relocating the turn signals from my bars to forks. If I depin the plugs will the cables pull through the bars easy enough? Bars are thrashin supply high bend.

Thanks

Found them used shipped from Canada, but originally (I think) from Australia. 59mm, made for another bike and discontinued.

Shouldn't be an issue. Getting the wiring out of the bars is easy enough - its the re-wiring thats tough. You can find clamps on Amazon if you want - Ill shoot you the link if you'd like

I’ve already got the clamps, got them from a site here in Australia. They look very similar to yours. Some tips would be great.
