Default Apes, ABS, cruise control, and wiring.

I'm gathering all the info I will need to start an ape hanger install, and need the forums help. My first question is a simple one. On my 2013 Anni Road King, are any of the handlebar wires currently run internally? I have both cruise and ABS, and I can visually see a big black wiring harness exiting the controls and running down the outside of the bars. My question is, are ALL the wires in that loom, or are there more that I cannot see running through the bars? The bike is only three weeks old so a manual IS COMING, I just haven't gotten it yet.

The reason I ask is because of my horrific A.D.D., I will most likely try 3-4 sets of bars before I settle in to the pair that makes me happy. The Dyna and Softail forum can attest to my incessant handlebar swaps! Until I find handlebars that are exactly perfect for me, I would like to just cut and extend the external loom, add cables, and try new bars for a week, month or whatever it takes, and not spend the extra time running wires internally till I have nailed down the set I want. So Please advise, are there any wires currently running on the inside of my handlebars, and if so are they inside for a particular reason?

Thanks.

The wires for the TBW are inside the bars everything else is outside.

agreed and the TBW is internal for abvious reasond.

just curious, why not sit down and really research the diffent apes and find what should suit you best to try to eliminate swapping them over and over. there are so many pix and reviews and comments on most of the bars. should be able to figure out what you actually want.

Check out hill country customs, you can get them all prewired. Just put a set of 14" on my 2013 SG and love them.
