Looking for some advice...having my Heritage fixed up after an accident and looking to have the bars internally wired in the process. I had a fat boy bar on the bike before, I would like to keep the same look and feel, can a new set of the same bar be drilled and internally wired? If not, does anyone know of a comparable replacement that could be internally wired?
Anyone want to suggest some web sites for me to cruise parts on? I have looked at several and have not really seen what I was looking for as of yet...
Thanks in advance!

chubby makes a great bar. i believe all there bars are made for internal wirring wild1inc.com
I would look at Wild 1 Chubby bars as they have a full range of bars from Apes to beach bars,depending what you are after.And they can be internally wired......
Hill Country Custom Cycles. They carry complete bar packages, Wild One Chubby's that are internally wired and also come with SS cables, for CHEAP. Check them out they are a real pleasure to deal with and they can put together any package you can think of.
If you are going with aftermarket bars, definitely go with the Wild 1 bars. Their quality will be second to none. I ordered a set of Kuryakn bars and returned them before ever leaving the store. The quality was on the low, low end. You can also drill the factory bars for internal wiring, but my opinion is that you will not be near as happy.
Yes, you can drill Fatboy bars for internal wiring. I drilled Heritage bar for internal wiring. Find some one with a drill press and it is easy. Be sure to smooth out the edges of holes so over time it will not cut into the wires.
Also, do the later model Fatboys come with the larger bars now and internal wiring? You may want to check the dealership. Or, like every one says, Wild 1 or ? Lots of choices out there.
