Title: Jota ace bars and switchgear wiring dilemma
Post by: billdn on January 03, 2019, 05:59:52 PM
At the risk of upsetting the purists I'm making my rebuild into a cafĂ© racer ish type project . I've fitted jota bars from TEC parts and they appear good quality HOWEVER the original 400/4 switches and associated wiring go through the handlebars and the jota bars are solid  ..hmm! I cant seem to find alternative switches especially for the push/pull throttle mechanism so the only conclusion appears to be drill a hole in the side/bottom of the switch as fits, disassemble the wiring (previous threads on switches duly noted!) and run the wires on the surface somehow once exiting the switch  - unless of course anyone knows better!. It's too late to change my mind as other mods have been already done so don't say don't do it! I know the hole will risk water getting in but perhaps a carefully applied sealant might do the job.

Cheers Bryan- it's tatty ones I'm using that I know were ok when removed. Painting them could be fun though!
