Default Doin' some Bob Mods w/pics

I like the feel of the stock bars, so I decided to run the wires inside. Were the bars are grooved on the bottom side, under the controls and grips, I cut a notch there and then cut another notch under the center of the bar, between the risers. Opinions are welcome.

Have contemplated doing the same thing. I have heard horror stories of stock bars cracking after a bit. Keep us updated.

Oh and it looks SO much better

That really cleaned up your bars. Looks good. I would make looking for cracks part of your pre ride routine just to be safe, but it looks like your slot is small enough that you should be fine.

Yeah, I made the slot small as i could get away with. The 2 sets of wires barely fit through the hole and its right in the middle of the clamp. My next project is front brake upgrade.
