handlebar/internal wire problem
« on: March 26, 2007, 08:39:17 AM »
I'm switching out the handlebars on my '75 CB360T to a flatter, clubman-style bar.  I'm having two problems.  The first is this: how do you get the throttle tube off the bar?  There are two throttle cables - one goes over the front of the throttle tube and one goes over the back.  I can't figure out how to remove one (or both) cables so I can remove the throttle (and I have to get the throttle tube off so I can pull the internal wiring out of the bars).  The second question is: the old stock bars had the wiring for the horn, kill switch, hi/low, turn signals, etc internally routed in the bars.  The new bars don't have the holes drilled for that, and even if they did, I don't think I could pull the wire through anyway.  The control body/pod thing that all those switches are on fits tight on the handlebars so there is no room to get those wires out externally.  Do I drill a hole in the controll body thing, or file an opening for the wire to fit through, or what?
Thanks much.

You may need to disconnect the cables at the carb end, that should give enough slack to unhook the cables from the throttle sleeve.

Filing an opening in the side of the switch housing is normally what is done.
