The switch housings should already be drilled for the wires.

Default RE: handlebar wiring question

If you are wiring those handlebars internally now is the best time to re-locate the signals to the tree.&nbsp\\; By doing that you eliminate two wires and housing for them on each side that normally runs through the bars.&nbsp\\; The wiring runs from the turn switches down through the neck to the electrical box (this wiring stays if you relocate) then it runs back up from the electrical box through the neck to the signals (so if you move the signals to the tree you have excess wiring that can be stowed in the neck).&nbsp\\; After all wiring and controls are removed from the old bars all you have to do is cut the zip tie holding the turn signal wires inside the switch housings and re-zip tie the other wires as they were.&nbsp\\; Then the turn signals are free to be mounted wherever you want.
