Yea it was alot of work but well worth it. I tried to do it without taking the tank off but ended up taking it off, then the pipes had to go. The wiring of the bars wasnt that bad though it went pretty fast, that tip you gave about blowing air through was the Sh$%, that made it a breeze. thanks for that 16over
iam thinking of doing the same thing,changing bars.what was the tip????blowing air????

Jacky The tip was if you are going to run your wires internally tape up all the holes on the bars except the one you want the wires to go through and the one you want them to come out, then take string and feed it into the hole and blow the air and it will come out the other hole. Works like magic. Then attatch your wires and start pulling, you will have to have a string that is fairly tough or do what i did and just double it up.l
