Installing apes
I'm going to be installing new 16 inch apes on my WG, last time I used picture hanging wire
to drag the wiring thru the bars and lubed it with window cleaner, is there an easier way?
other than buying the bars pre wired. Thanks

Sounds like you have it covered there to me. After you run that wire down the bar from hole to hole...tie you a piece of strong string to it to use as a pull string. Cut another piece of the string the same length. When you go to pull another wire through, attach both pieces of string to the wire with tape and then pull. When you get it out the other end you have just put another pull string in the bars. Then you use the first piece of string for the 3rd wire just like you used the 2nd piece on the 2nd wire.

I just use a split shot fishing weight on the end of the string to get the string through. Since the wires already have a plastic sheath around them, I just tie the string to all of them and put some electrical tape over the ends so they don't snag and put the whole shitteroo through at the same time.
