#112594 n2dwoodz (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 133 Big Johnsons vs. wiring length 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I recently put Big johnsons on my bike. The local "stealer put them on for me while I was on vacation, along with SS cables. When I went to pick it up, they informed me there was no way they could internally route the electricals (?)...True or false? 2nd question, they zip-tied the electrical wiring to the bars in 4 different spots on each side. I've got a set of the taller risers Yammy sells for the Roadstar. Anyone tried them with Big Johsnons and standard wiring? Thanks!   Logged     N2DWOODZ   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112635 Papa Bear (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 171 Re:Big Johnsons vs. wiring length 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Usually OEM dealers are not going to make aftermarket modifications because of liability issues. Custom shops typically are willing to for a fee. Check the custom shops in your area and ask your wiring question.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1463 Re:Big Johnsons vs. wiring length 3 Months, 1 Week ago   My friend has the Big Johnsons and he wired his inside the bars. I wasn't super easy but it can be done. He was able to use the wires without splicing but he doesn't have risers. I have the Nostagia bars and was able to wire them inside without splicing but if I did it again I would splice. Give yourself a case of beer and a whole day to do it right.

I added about 6 inches to every wire and routed through the handlebars. Looks great! The only reasons that I extended the wiring: 1. It was going to be a little tight since there wasn't that much slack stock. 2. If I had to cut off the plugs anyway (to get the wiring through the bars) and have to re-splice and solder, I might as well add the extra 6 inches while it was apart. NOTE: If you do this, make sure you add the extra length near the plugs (3 inches+ out) just in-case you have any issues. You wouldn't want the splices inside the bars where you can't get to them... :0) Hope that helps you.
