Ok, that wasn't much of a pep talk...but I gave it my best try.
Still patiently waiting for the next update from Fireman 1501's insane project, this thread has got me tuned in.
Nothing cleaner than apes with zero cables dangling around!

I think the hardest part is the throttle part. You have to cut the end off the bars to make this work and then make sure your cable is the right length. So a lot of measuring and re-measuring. If you think about doing this your bars cannot have the dimple for the wiring. They have to be the throttle by wire style. Hope to have pictures of it this week as soon as I get the parts in.

You can always just put a notch in the bars like the TBW bars if you have the wrong version...I am getting a headache just thinking of all the labor involved. But one day I'll get to it.

Drew the labor is really not that bad. I have put in more labor researching the parts I am using. I will post all the parts, lengths, numbers I saved when I am finished. I take a lot of pride in my work and that is another thing some can not say. Instead they tell you a shop that did the work. But that is just me. Some have the cash to throw out there to do it...

After many phone calls this morning trying to find Company to make me a throttle, Magnum Shielding has earned my business due to customer service wanting to see my project completed with the very best product available. They are emailing me a custom sheet to order my cable.
