Zip ties or buy 1.25" cable clamps for your bars.

The only good thing about apes on a bike with TBW is you only have two cables to route,and then it looks uncluttered . Too bad you have go through hell extending the wires though to get there

I would go with clamps,it looks much cleaner than zip ties.

Man your not joking about the wires. I just got done extending all of my wires, what a long tedious project. When it got too much I would stop for the day and pick up where I left off the next day. Everyone always talks about extending cables if needed but I always wondered why nobody mentions the wires, now I know the answer. Its a subject I would hate to remember about how it was a PITA.

If your bars are chrome...
I bought stainless steel zip ties from a big box home improvement store for less than 5 bucks. Look good IMO.

Another suggestion.... The NAMZ wire extension kits make the bar install much more enjoyable. Soldering 30+ wires is for the birds.

I went ahead n spent the $$ be bought some pro one billet clamps, they look solid on there. I didnt solder anything, my wire extension kit was plug n play.
