Tall boy handlebars and wiring
Are the Harley brand tall boy handlebars suitable for internal wiring? If so, do you use the existing wires, and remove/replace the connectors to get them through the holes? I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the wires, clutch and brake items are long enough when using the tall boy wires.
Thanks for your input.

Yes, you can wire tallboy internally. I did tallboy installation on my 2017 and both hydraulic lines were fit although had to reroute a bit the clutch line. Not sure about cable clutch - it might be a tighter fit and you will need to replace the cable upper with longer one. Switch cable connector sockets are easy to pull out - you'll need something like very thin screwdriver to pry lock and pull the wire out. And you will need also reroute switch wires a bit under the fairing. From the right side you first pull out the throttle sensor and then pull it back together with swtich wires. A bit of WD-40 helps.
PS Finally i ended up with replace that tallboy bar with Khrome Werks 300200 as it much better corresponds with term "10-inch handlebar for tall guy" and also fit to stock lines. Then later i did another replacement with 12" mini-ape (where i has to put +2" lines and cable extenders) and now i'm happy enough with it - have comfort and my hands still not so high above batwing as with 14". I'm 6'4" tall.
