It's not bad...Use a vacuum to suck string through each side of the bars, attach harness to string and lube up the wire harnesses with windex and they'll go through.

I have 16" Apes on, I was able to tie a small weight to the end of some fishing line, and feed it right down the bars. Tied the fishing line to the wires and pulled them right thru.
