Handlebar/wiring question
I am planning on changing the mini-apes I have on my Night Train to 13" apes. The new bars are drilled for internal wiring, and I'd like to know if the whole harness including the black covering is supposed to be plumbed through them, or if I'm supposed to remove the covering first.
Thanks for any info.
Cheers!

Leave the cover on. The bars will have burs here or there in them and exposed wiring run through there can rub against those burs and eventually short out.
If the wires don't fit whatever bars you got with the covers on, take the covers off and just slide them in bulk into 1 heat shrink tube for each side. That'll get rid of the mass of individual covers and still have your wiring protected.

Yup, leave the covering on, it'll not only protect the wiring, but make it easier to pull through the bars in one piece instead of several individual wires. Not a hard project if you take your time. Great winter lay up project.
