I had never done it before either. I just put liquid soap on the coating around the wires and stuck it thru the handlebars. I just gently pushed until they came out the bottom holes.

reviving an old thread.....I just ordered some 10" mini apes 1 1/4 " diameter.....my local shop told me they would run the wires internally for an extra $100.....I dont think i have the patience to do it myself......I cant wait to see them installed.....I havent seen many pics with internal wiring, i hope it's worth the extra expense!!!!
