Questions about internal wiring
i have run internal throttle and clutch on several bikes they are really easy to work on, and either way if you break a cable you have to redo them, i hate the internal clutch but love internal throttles, either way they are pretty easy to run and look awesome!

Are you talking about cables or wiring? Steel braided cables still need lubing but why on earth would you lube electrical wires?
Do you lube the electrical wires in conduit pipes in buildings? All you are doing is instead of routing the wiring on the outside of the bars, you are just routing them into and out of the bars to clean up the look.
There is plenty of room in the bars like 07 Dyna man said and yes it will cost more if you pay someone to do it because they are doing more work.

We just put carlini bars on my bike and I have steel braided wires (which I prefer and like) and they went right through. The most difficult part was taking all the wiring apart, we had to take the wires out of the plastic deals (sorry don't know what they are called I'm a chic) and then put them all back together after we strung it through the bars. I have 1.5 inch bars and everything fit fine.

Those "plastic deals" are called molex connectors.

If not, what do you call the things that control your throttle? Throttle wires? Clutch Wire? Brake wire?
Clutch Cable...throttle cable...brake line
ok... here is some pics to help out, i just internal wired my new bars this week, this is internal wiring.... they also make internal throttles, brake lines, and clutch cables... I can show this with pics of the chopper as well. they are two different things, internal wire is the electrical component that run the switch housings, where internal cables (also much harder to do) is the clutch, and throttle cables, there is a huge diff not only in work involved but also the price to pull it off
