plugs And Sheath, Did It Twice Even . When I Took My Bike To Dealer For a Warranty Issue So They Could Not Give Me Any Crap On Running Wires In Bars. Only Thing I Did Do Was Tape The Green Plug So I Wouldn't Damage It When Doing The Push Pull. It Can Be Done,Take Your Time.

Guess I didn't have the patience. Tried for 20 minutes & couldn't get past the first curve!

I have KW +2 Sweepers on my bike, did the install myself. Ran all wires internally. Extended NOTHING. The wires still reached and plugged into the stock locations and I did not need to do anything to my clutch or brake lines.

I have the screaming eagle TBW connector. Fit was tight, took patience but not hard at all.

In the process of internally wiring mine. Bought a screaming eagle TBW sensor which does away with the green plug in the bars, also used dialectric grease to slide the control wiring through with minimal fuss.

Friend pulled the TBW wire through the hole where the control wiring goes in, taped the TBW & control wiring together, pulled them both through the bars at the same time until they came out the bottom then separated them and pulled them individually the rest of the way.

Easy trick to get TBW connectors through 1" bars is tape connector with one wrap of electrical tape tightly,then smear silicone paste on wiring and connectors and they will pull through like butter.
