Default Internal cables
Is there anyone here that's run their cables internally in their bars? Wondering if there's a kit or something or even someone that makes bars specifically for internal cables.

Thanks.

I installed yaffe bars on my 18 RGS and no cable mods were required. The connectors don't require disassembly. Mine were 12 inch.

And you ran your brake and clutch lines internally?

Are you talking about clutch/brake lines? Because just about every Harley has the switch pack and TBW cables run internally. You can easily remove the connectors and pull wires - a little cable lube makes the job even easier.

Wow, never saw that before. Wouldn’t have thought hydraulic lines like that much of a bend. Anyway, good luck with your search.

I didn’t see your reply immediately before my post btw.

I was curious about the bends to, which is why I wondered if there was a kit or something with elbow fittings or something for the bends.
