Why couldn't you? You need to drill holes obviously. haha. The bars are alloy so it'll be a breeze.

Not a stupid question at all. A friend of mine has recently hit a problem with his Suzuki, he bought some Renthals for it and then found he couldn't get all the wiring through because of the smaller inside diameter of the new bars. Might be something worth checking before you commit to buy :)

It's not a lot of wiring though. He was asking about being able to run the wires from the M-switch through the bars. That's only a few wires at best. Not the hefty bundles that come with the stock controls.  ;)

Yes you can. A rubber grommet installed in the end with a small hole drilled for the wire bundle to pass thru.
