Default Handlebar Wire Extensions
I,m putting some 10" handlebar wire extensions on my bike and my question is on the ends where you just plug the male and female ends togeather they dont fit snug enough to suite me. do you guys put a little solder on the ends to hold them togeather then use the shrink tubing ???????

I would always solder my wires and use shrink tubing. Better safe than sorry......

+1 on solder and heat shrink but my question is what ride do you have. I did 10" apes and my wires were long enough.
