The one thing I noticed, that I'll have to do, is score a cross pattern on the bars where they seat into the risers. Even after I tightened the living crap out of them, if you push or pull on the them hard enough they begin to slip. You really have to get into it to make it happen, but I'm not comfortable with that, so I'll fix it.

I think they look great! ... Would love to see some more pics. Did you use the stock risers?

Thanks for the info, i wasnt clear in my question i meant to ask about what did you have to do to extend your wiring, I got them to drill them so i can run the wiring internally. The local bike shop cant seem to find anything in the parts books for extending to wiring. what did you do

RE: The Gimps are Finally On...
phwiw.....
I eventually ran my wiring internal on a set of 1" 14s.
I pulled the connectors out of the underside of the phrame near the neck..... there's an access panel there..... disconnected the connectors, then cut the wiring near that point. Pulled it all phree phrom the neck.
I used a rigid wire, pushed up the bars phrom between the risers to the holes I had drilled out under the clamps. Then I taped the control wiring to the rigid wire and pulled them back through the bars. Routed it through the opening in the top triple tree, back down into the neck, soldered in about 3 to 4 extra inches of wiring, soldered the connectors back on, wrapped all that up, reconnected, and replaced it in the backbone.
I won't tell you it was easy, I had to make several attempts to get the wiring through the bars, but in the end I think it's a cleaner look. If you take your time, and do it right, it comes out phine in the end.
