Default 1st mod keystone handlebar install

So today I installed my first mod on my 2012 48. I had been eyeballing the biltwell keystone Handlebars and finally pulled the trigger. The install went well with the help of my father inlaw and I love the look and feel of these. I'm going on a 150mi trip around southern Arizona tomorrow so i will report back!

Looks good. I have a set of these also and love the position they put my arms in. I'm just trying to figure out if I am able to hide the wires inside the bars or if its even posible on these bars, never heard of it being done on these bars.
