Those are the most radical bars I've ever seen.They are going to look CRAZY!!! on your Rocker.Did you internally run the wires yourself? That had to be a ***** with all those angles.

His Lighting Bolts would look great on your bike Mike. Of course your current bars are lookers already.

Malingerer, Bill has a video on youtube where he shows how he used a small chain to snake through the lighting bolts bars.
I was going to wire them myself, but Mike's advice was just let Bill pre-wire them.
When I talked to Bill about them, he said he made it look easy in the video but they can be tough to wire up and also suggested I let him wire them. I paid him for the wiring extentions and he charged me $20 to pre-wire them.
I only need to unsolder my current wires from the handlebar switches and solder up the wires Bill installed. Bill lists on his site he'll solder up your switches or new ones if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.
I was an Aviation Electrican in the Navy, so I will solder the switches and into the wiring harness.

Good idea to have the extensions prewired. Those would be a serious PITA to wire.

Yes, I was thinking it might require some help with a poor man's liquid lube, dish washing soap.

That was most likely the BEST $20.00 you ever spent and a good move.That seems very,very,very reasonable to run the wires .This company seems like they are aces to deal with from what I read.Cant wait to see the pics with your bars on like I said its gonna look CRAZY.
