Default Another Handlebar Internal Wiring Question

I have some wild1 wo504's I'm going to install on my 2006 fatboy.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The internal wiring of the hand controls seems pretty straight forward, but I'm a little unsure of the best way to get the turn signal wires inside the bars.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Do I need to drill holes in the bottom of the hand controls housing&nbsp\\;to get the wires inside?
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Any ideas or sugestions would be appreciated.

No you should beable to stuff them in the hole provided for the other wires.&nbsp\\; It is a tight fit and I found the best way to do it is tape all the wires to a coat hanger and push it through. good luck

Hey appreciate the tip using the coat hanger.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I thnk the wires will fit just fine in the hole in the handlebars but the hole in the handlebars is covered up by the controls housing.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;How is the best way to get the wires from the turn signals (which are on the outside of the housing) inside the housing so I can put them inside the handlebars?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The stock handlebars were dimpled on the underside and would allow enough room to run the wires underneath.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The wo504 bars are not dimpled.

I agree with squirrel. Take them off (unless your state requires them) it cleans up the bars.
