Threading switch gear cable through handlebars

<< < (2/2)

cbxman:
My two pence worth.

I use a hair dryer to warm the handlebar and the PVC becomes softer and manageable, particularly in this weather!  The wires just pushes through quite easily even old brittle stuff.  Not too much though!!!!

I use an old internal cable from a used throttle cable. Use electrical tape to secure the cable to the wire loom with the lead nub just behind the last plug. Then tape the entire joint smooth with the tape. Put a little dish soap on the joint. This has worked every time for me with minimal tugging.Work both ends by pulling on the cable and pushing on the wire Bundle

davidcumbria:
Many thanks  for all the replies. Reckon this thread should be moved to the tips and tricks section.

Lobo:
…bind the head of the loom with PTFE plumbing tape - far easier to deal with than electrical insulation tape. Pull string of your choice.

A short length of heat shrink over the connectors and and pull string has worked for me
