Default t bar hell

I have a set of 8 inch t-bars with a slot each side for internal wiring by the controls but no outlet?
I want to run the wiring inside the bars.........grrrr
any ideas? drill a hole? I am going to get photo's tomorrow.

Pat

That'll all depend on if they drilled the top bar at the uprights for internal. Otherwise you have to come out the top bar...

Yeah I agree, let me snap some pics (tonight)

I am really new to these bikes, wasn't sure if there was some special riser bolt...that is supposed to be used?

Thanks
Pat

What brand are those? I'm looking into T-bars too, and would rather not need to drill and debur, and then paint or something for corrosion protection.

Speaking of corrosion, on all the T-bars I've seen, the lower hole for the wiring isn't at the very bottom of the tube, so I reckon they'd catch and hold some water.

Sounds like handlebars for external wiring...Those will have an indentation for the wires to fit under the switch housings and maybe a couple of holes for cable clamps but no holes drilled anywhere for the wires to go inside the tubes.

my camera is messed up, it will have to wait. It just irritates the crap out of me. There are actual holes for the wires to go into.......just no exit. I have no idea who makes them. Why would you buy them is my question???

Thanks

Is there holes down near the triple tree bolt area? If not and the riser tubes are attached to the bars, there is no reason to drill a hole for internal. Sell em and get the right bars.
