staggered and solder the joints and the shrink wrap the joints looks clean and neat.....not big and bulky.....

x2 and less headache down the road with possible loose connections.

That's one of those things that you notice when you're done and say, "Man, I could've done it differently and made it a lot easier on myself. Somebody slap me with the stupid stick".

Which ever you decide make sure to cut the wires staggered so they wont be all bunched up when tucking them in.

I have a feeling that just saved me a ton of frustration.

You might get away with the stock length wiring when using the Heritage bars.

If not then yes, cut - splice - solder is what's recommended.
I've also used butt connectors in the past and never had any problems with them.

Just a quick question; if I'm going heritage sized bars in height, aside from the longer break and throttle cables do y'all just cut and splice to get longer wires?  Thanks!,,
