Scroll down to the FTW pullbacks. THOSE are sick.
HOLY F%$ Yea those are going to suck to wire. Mine sucked with 90 angles. If I have to take all the wiring out and redo it I'll use tire shine like FUQUA did. Don't know why I didn't think of that and I read his thread after I wired mine of course.

I know. <----------me thinking of doing it.


However, I like the bars you got and was going to do that route...but I really fell in LOVE with the RC bars I posted and also...why I haven't committed to doing the work. I know it is just plain going to suck, but you might have a great point with the tire shine. I also think something sticky like grease might work well and if it is dielectric it wouldn't harm the coating.....hmm...

Dielectric grease would get super messy and a PIA to clean afterward!

I routed my wires through my cables by tying a single strand of bow-string (~50lb /strand pull strength... small and waxed)... and taping off all the holes I didn't want the string to come out of, and blew the string through the bars with my air compressor, and then pulled the wiring through with the string...

Hey Jaron, I still have a couple different sizes and lengths of that braided nylon wire loom stuff....

I may need that if I have to pull all the wires! That would be awesome!! Since I couldn't find it anywhere out here.
