Wire wrap?
I put 16" apes on my sportster, love it! I want to clean up the look for the electrical wiring from the top down to the forks on my new bars (already did braided for the throttle and clutch cable. My plan was to put the flex conduit over the wires to bring them together, now I'm looking for something to wrap the conduit with. The only thing I have found in the auto parts store is the foil 'chrome' duct tape. I'm afraid that will look like crap though. Any suggestions? Thanks!
What he said. If you're gonna cut the wires anyway to slip the shrink tubing on might as well run them internal. Of course your bars need to be drilled and dimpled if you're running stock Hd controls. Good luck.
