Default Handlebar swap help

do i have to cut and splice electrical from under the seat to get a narrow end for feeding through new handlebars? or is there a trick to the disconnect that allows grip end components to feed through the bars? yea, i did a search, but came up empty with "handlebar electrical disconnect".

Disconnect under the gas tank at the block or easier since you usually need to lenghten the wiring to go through the bars is just cut them just under the gas tank feed through the bars add extentions as needed and solder and shrink wrap, youll never know the splice is there.

Use a vacumn cleaner and a cotton ball tied to a string to feed through the bars and then tie to the wiring and pull
