Underdog1:
in another train of thought I have some Renthal Ultralows which i was hoping to be able to internally wire.

Ive had them sitting around for a while but picked them up today and realised they arent completely hollow, they are blocked off about 4 inches into either side.

Can i still internally wire them or should i avoid chopping up these aluminium bars and find some steel ones instead?

mike the bike:
When you use the clutch tool, make sure it's seated properly by tapping it all the way in, otherwise something will get chewed up.

DO NOT under any circumstances cut holes for wires in ally bars, if you look at Honda steel bars they are strengthened where the wires exit at the centre. Way back when saw many "broken" bars where holes had been cut cos the owner didn't want to pay Honda's replacement prices

Hmm that's a shame then, how do people tend to run these then? Externally wire them?

Bryanj:
Yup
