Sure it can be done, but personally, I don't think you'll gain much in the way of looks. You'll have to drill a hole in the bars, between the risers. That's where the wire's will exit the bars. Now drill TWO holes in the riser, on new the bar, one near the tree. Run the wires through the bars, out, then into the risers. Personally, if I kept the stock bars and risers, I'd just run them through the bars. Leave them exposed where the go down to the trees. Go to Pep Boys, Advanced Auto, etc, get some braided hose covering. Cover it for that short, 6" or so area. Much easier than what you're considering. My bike is totally internal wired, front to rear. It makes for a nice look, but is veryyyyy time consuming.
Good luck
