Default wiring 10" LA chopper primeapes

I am trying to wire the throttle side and it has been a huge pain so far. Couple of questions will the control wires fit through the bars with the throttle wires? If so how in the hell did you get it done?

Well I have the throttle wires ran and I used string to pull them through. Problem is trying to get all the control wires through with them in there . And trying to make the first bend with the huge lump of wires.

Hopefully you staggered the control and tbw. Obviously the control wire's should go in the hole under the hand grip and the tbw through the end of the bar. Once they come out by the bar clamp make sure you leave enough slack for the tbw to be the last thing you push into the bar end. Hopefully that makes sense. Good luck!

I get how it is supposed to be done. The problem is doing it. The tbw are ran but the cotrols are not. That is my issue

You will need to pull them at the same time. Stagger them and use tons of wire lube. If you know an electrician ask him for some or go buy some at home depot. Wire lube is your friend.

Here is a pic for the poster that was asking for one above. I did not route them internally as I tried and it was a pain and I was pressed for time when I did it. I need to go back and route them now that I know I like them and they are staying on.
