Default New Handlebars....what do you think?
I installed them today, still not sure what to do about the wiring. I'd like to go internal, but I'm not sure how much work that'll be. Any tips?

Went for a short ride before the rain came.... I love the feel. My arm are further apart and it feels like I have more control.

Looks good man- I love drag bars. I would just leave the wiers alone.

Pulling the wires isn't that bad. Biggest headache is messing with the control housings to begin feeding the wires.

I pulled mine thru a set of T bars with no problem, a set of drag bars should be simple.

Gilmour68: Any pics of when you did yours? Do the wires come off the control side? I did this on my '94 FXR back in '95 so a lot has changed and a lot of brain cells have gone away!
