Thank you
It sounds like he want to drill holes then cut the slots so he can run the switch wires through the bars like the stock ones.hambandit said:what do you need a drill for?
You're probably going to need a dremel tool and a small file set. The files are pretty inexpensive at Lowe's/Home Depot and can justify a drill and dremel tool as required household items anyway.Cl350k3guy said:I think im better off going out to get a drill.
I just gonna do that. Has anyone chaged their own bars before? any tips?
Yes, that's the one. He did a very clean, professional of cutting the slots. I wouldn't have disassembled the switches but rather I cut all the connectors off and then reattached new one. That presupposes, of course, that you have new connectors. If not, then disassembling the switches might be the best choice since I don't like cutting and splicing wires for a number of reasons..thrilhou said:Hey Mike, did you mean this thread?

This guy did super clean job of it. I had it saved as a reference...
Hmmm... I'm curious... before I try doing this myself... do you think it would be impossible to route the cable through the bar with the bullet connectors still attached?MNellis said:Yes, that's the one.

Good to know... your description of using an old cable to aid in pulling through was to be my general plan of attack.luketrash said:I pulled all the wires through the handlebars of a 72 CB750 for my friend, bullet connectors and all. It was a very tight fit. I used old cable from a bicycle or motorcycle electrical taped up all the wiring harness wires with electrical tape and secured them to the cable. I remember how much of a pain it was, but everything went through.
The question I've got is if it's possible to snake my wires through clubman bars![]()
