Running wires through the handlebars 7 Years, 4 Months ago
Sorry for the stupid question, but in the tech tips article: http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/109/112/ does this work with stock Road Star Silverado handlebars? I plan to install some pullback risers and thought I would make this mod at the same time. Are there holes in the handlebars or do you need to drill holes?

Re:Running wires through the handlebars 7 Years, 4 Months ago
You have to drill holes. If I remember correctly, you will not be able to route the wire through the horizontal portion of the bars and then through the risers as the two are not joined. I have seen where some have drilled holes between the risers, on the underside of the bars, to route them from the bars. Doc
