Run them inside, it's not very hard especially if you don't need to extend them.

All you have to do is remove the pins from the housing using a paper clip, run them through the bars and put the pins back into the house (draw a diagram before removing the wires).

Check out the page here:

Then click on the wiring tech link to give you an idea on how to free the wires up. You will have to remove the tank to do this.

You can (if you choose) drill holes where needed and buy the wire clips from Harley. Assuming the new bars don't already have holes underneath.
