Default new bars and a ?

Ok I got my new drag bars on, they are fat in the middle and where the grips are 1". Ok heres the? there is a trough for the wire, but it is set back from where it gets thick, I'm trying to keep the wire in the trough, but I cant get the houseings close enough to the fat part of the bars. So there is a gap. What to do with the wire without pinching it?

Doesnt sound easy, but its not that bad... slide the tank back, locate the wire harness, use a small flat blade to remove the wires, write down the color and location. then drill the bars where you want the wires to be, run the wires through then wire em back up. makes for an even cleaner look and not really all that bad to do! thats what i would do, what i did, at least
