#747951 Lifeguard (User) Alright everybody out of the pool. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1108 Handlebar wire cover question 3 Years, 11 Months ago   I have severely sunburned electrical cable covers (GREY) and want to cover/replace/color or something to fix the problem. I was looking at the black split covers from Painless Performance parts. They are black and split and seem to look pretty good. Thought about a vinyl paint over but way more involved in covering the bike to paint without removing. Anyone have any ideas you have tried or seen?   Logged     The usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness-Bruce Lee   The administrator has disabled public write access. #747953 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7000 Re:Handlebar wire cover question 3 Years, 11 Months ago   try just about any auto parts store, they usually carry some type of cable covers in different diameter sizes.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #747955 Norske (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1507 Re:Handlebar wire cover question 3 Years, 11 Months ago   There is also the 4 beer guide to running the wires internally in the tech articles. I'm halfway done with mine, got too cold in the garage to keep going. Will finish mine Friday as its supposed to be above 40 again.   Logged     There are three ways of doing things.

It adds a good smooth look the the handle bar area. Look into it!?

Best tips I can give, center punch the holes before trying to drill, drill in 3 steps starting at 1/8th and ending at 1/2, do in-line splices with soldier and shrink wrap. Ill post pics once I get my bike all back together. Only takes a couple hours and looks SOOOO much cleaner.   Logged     There are three ways of doing things.

Trying to heat shrink wrap with a propane torch isnt as fun as you would think.   Logged     There are three ways of doing things.
