Default new gimps done
The gimps are on and i am real happy, i just got home from blasting arround, man i love those bars. They feel great and so comfortable. It was a bit of a job to do, i wasnt expecting it to take as long as it did but i took my time and it turned out nice. I ran the wires internally and put barnett platinum brake and clutch cables and blacked out the throtle and idle. Here are some pics, there not the best but i will post some more tomorrow in day light after i was the beast. Thanks to everybody that helped me get this done.

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

Great job clayman...It's such a different feel on that first ride and it never gets old or at least it hasn't for me yet.
