Default Internal wired bars 5-6 hours? Update

I was at a local indy today and just for ***** and giggles I asked how much to run my wires internally and they quoted my 5-6 hours is this job that hard? makes me wonder if he priced high because he didn't want to do the job...

I'm sure I can do this myself, any pointers?


Thanks
-Asa

Its a easy job but does take some time. Alot depends on the bars, some like mine took no time to run the wires through it were others can take some time.

It took me about 4 hours to do my bars but that was also adding a tach.

I took about that much time in doing my bars, the internal wiring and the chrome controls.
