Im new on the forum as you can tell by post count, I recently bought a 08 1200 custom that was laid over. Minor damage just little things here and there. The huge solid riser piece is busted and i was wanting to put the riser kit from HD on it, because i think it would give it alot more of the sport cruiser look. My big question is what to do with all the wiring that goes up to the hand controls? I think it would look slightly tacky with all the wires and nothing to really cover them up. Any opinions? or suggestions? Id like to see some pictures with the set back riser kit on a sporty.

 

I stuck all mine in the headlight, and my risers are hollow, so I routed all the cables from the handlebars down through the risers and then drilled holes in the sides of them to bring them back out.

 

run the wires internally through the handle bars. you will probably have to drill the holes for it. gives the bars a nice clean look

 

Don't rush and take the time to think it through and you do fine. These guys have already gave you some good ideas.

 

OK, thanks guys...ill have to give it a shot and see what i can do with it.

 

if you can't get ahold of correct wiring colors to extend them, you can just use a multimeter on continuity to find which wires are which.
