Yes I did all internal wiring, throttle cable, and brake line. My bike has a foot clutch so did not have to deal with that. I used the 1 1/2" Flying Carlini 16" apes. the bars are double walled so it was a PITA but was able to calm down and take my time and came out great. I think I had about 20 hrs in just getting the bars like I wanted them. Made a world of difference on the look. Would do it again. It is just one of those things you have to take to the next level to stand out.

Here is a picture of the bars right after I completed them.





A lot of people ask on how you get the throttle adjusted. Well you just switch ends with the cable. The adjustment is now by the carb.

If you don't go with the foot clutch like Fireman1501 did, you can easily change to a hydraulic clutch and route the line in the bars.

You are right. And you can use the 3/16" tubing to run for it also.

The part that goes into the bar had to be shortened to make sure the stock switch wiring would work. And I also had to drill and tap set screws in the bar to hold it in place. Been working for almost a year without any problems.

I forgot how long the cable is.
