Good job. I have yet to tackle internal wiring myself, because I've heard it's a b*tch, so kudos to you. Do you have any pics of the bars itself, or maybe a link? How much did you pick them up for? Are they 1 1/4" or 1 1/2"? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

I have also internaly wired my fat flyer bars and can honestly say it was a real pain in the ^ss. When finished it do's definetly improve the looks of the front end of the bike.[^][8D] .....Frec.....U.K..

 

I am so looking forward to this mod. "NOT" My new bars should be here in a couple weeks I hope.
I anticipate sitting on the couch screwing with them for hours!!

I know they arent CP Fatty bars but they look great to me.

 

I had about 30 hours into my last internal wiring, and then wrecked that Warrior, I swore I would never do it again, but it just looks so **** good. Argghhhh!!! I think for sure I'll run the wires through while siting inside on the couch like ekmaint - while having a few adult beverages.

 

Chex, hated doing mine too and now I dont even use the bars. At least you can say you did it.

Ray, Save yourself the trouble, I have a set of Barons Radius bars that I might sell for the right price. They are internally wired and have the clutch perch on the bars and both left and right controls.

Pics? If no takers, I may want your bars. theres no way I am going to try to tackle internal wiring myself. It took me 3 days just to put on my new gear shifter and rear brake control. lol- BEN

 

I tried to do mine and what a PAIN in the A**.....So I got rid of all my wires, and switch's. You can see in the pics

Soldering the wires was super easy for me, the toughest part the 3 times I used 3 diferent gauges to run the wires I started with the 14's but the holes weren't big enough to fit all the wires thru. Wound up using 18's.

 

I thouoght about soldering it, but I have no experience in that. I only twisted the wires back together at the controls but was long enough to put it back in the bars, but I heat shrunk everything to where it was clean but wasnt too fat to get back in the bar holes. I was going to use butt connectors but that is way to big. Then I slowly pulled each wire down while keeping the tension off the edges of the holes at the trees.

 

Doesn't take much to solder, and you can get one at RadioShack. Don't be like me and tape the trigger down and place in a vice to save yourself time though, it ends up burning up the unit. Doh!!! At least there not that expensive.

 

love the clean look need to get my new bars first

 

That cinches it...
If I get new bars I'm paying someone to do the wiring. [/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]
A wrench I can handle.
Hours of frustrating work, I can do without.

 

Nice work Chexmix.

 

The Carlini's were a piece of cake to wire. NOT
I'm thinking we need an Internally Wired Club. What the **** we got midnight club, fat ******* club, 130 club. The pic could be some guy pulling his hair out. Welcome to the club chexmix.

 

I wired the Barons 1.25 inch Radius Bars onto my bike. I felt I definitely had to solder ALL the wire connections. Soldering is relatively easy with a little practice. Be sure you get good 'flow'. I see a lot of soldering that did not 'flow' well and they are problems waiting to happen. I had to add 13 inches of extension to each wire. You need to do one wire at a time and stagger the placement of the solder joint. If you do the soldering all at one place, the bundle will be too wide to get through the bars.

I love em, they look really good (I have heard they are referred to as "Teeth Eaters") fair assessment, but I like 'em. Take your time and be sure to heatshrink all connections and you will be pleased.

Well worth the effort.....
