Bar control wiring
Let me explain, 1994 Softail Custom, I had 10" mini apes with 4" risers. I didn't like the look of the tall risers.
So I bought a set of 14" with 1" risers. No big deal right?
Nope.
I figured I'd do internal wiring. I lost a foot of play.
And the wiring won't reach.
So I have to extend the wires and clutch cable ( which was oversize already)
My question (finally) is what on the crimp tool letter or letters do I use for the open barrel crimps?

My personal preference
I would solder the wires together before I started crimping them takes up less space and is more reliable in holding together and use a good heat shrink on them when you use bulky connectors it gets tricky pulling them through the bars where as ur gonna get flexibility with a small solder point rather than a inch long connector that doesnt flex when pulling through angles in the bars and when pulling through make sure u protect them wires from getting cut up inside the bars on sharp corners i made that mistake my first go around
