How To Drill Holes in Handlebar For Wiring The Switches on Your Motorcycle
Let’s drill some holes in these motorcycle handlebars so we can run the wiring internally instead of zip clipped on the outside. It will make for a much cleaner look.

The videos should help anyone whether working on a cafe racer build or a full-on original restoration. I'm definitely not an expert so please refer to your manuals for proper disassembly and assembly instructions. Please leave comments if you have any questions. I'll be happy to help answer questions if I can confidently provide solutions. Again, I'm not a professional. This is my 2nd Honda motorcycle restoration and I'm learning every single day. I'd love to hear your tips if you have better ways to do things. I hope you find the series useful and entertaining. I strive to show as much detail as possible so that the videos can be used as not only a how-to resource but also a reference for the placement and original set up of parts and systems. If you don't have one already please get a manual for your specific project. There are many available online for download for free. Keep on wrenching, Your support is extremely appreciated. THANK YOU!

Nicely done. I had to do to this recently to put some new bars on my CB750. A major pain in the butt. I used the same method you did....hand drill to get started and then the Dremel to widen the holes and clean them up. I didn't have the template. Used a different dremel bit as well...and a small hand file at the end to file the edges.
It worked! That’s what matters. Great minds….
Just what I was looking for! Great video! I didn't want to take the chance and fabricate my handlebars. I am a lil more comfortable after watching this
Hi there Brian,thank you for your fab videos & your kindness,for sharing some great tricks,to make my motorbike,have some great touches,like my wiring,on the inside of my handlebars,Excellent stuff & happy riding friend🙂🙂
Great to hear, Akbar. I hope it works out for you. Internal wiring is a must for a clean look. Good luck!
i understand the need for neatness and i love this ide but i would have just made some unseen holes unperfect BECAUSE i wouldnt want to cut out the template
End result is the same!
Thanks!!! Love this idea! But I don't want to trash my original bars. But you gave me idea to make the template with some tape copying the original bars.
No reason why it shouldn’t work.
@@KeepOnWrenching only thing is have to figure out position of levers before drilling holes. Any ideas?
I'm mounting superbars backwards to get the like clubman bars
Again, thanks for these videos! I wouldn't have been able to put my basket case back together without them. Still a bit to go but at least it looks like a bike again
You could have used a grommet in that space to avoid shearing the wires
Totally. Great idea!
Were you not worried about weakening the alloy bars?
Not really. I suppose it could be a thing. I like the original bars much better. This was an experiment.
couldn't have just used a tape measure? Seems like a lot of trouble to cut bars and cut them in half... could've used a piece of tape and transferred the markings that way... whatever floats your boat!
I liked the idea of having a template guide. I could have just used tape too but yeah I like that old bar set to keep things on track. These replace the bars are pretty thin. Easy to mangle. I thought of it as more of a jig.
is this alloy handle bar?
I would assume so.
This guy sounds like Chris from Family Guy
I’m doing the best I can to explain this stuff. I hope you found it useful
Well , as long as you have those templates handy ?? this video is for you .No good to me im afraid
You don’t have the original bars?
You don’t have to cut them up. Just make a rigid template.
