I'm looking to add some bullet driving lights on the top of the engine bar, and I want it to be a nice clean install.  I'm wanting to know how I can hide the wires or encase them in something that looks better than black wires going up under the tank.  Any ideas, pics, products, or links would be preciated.  Thanks.

Sometimes it's almost impossible to hide wires. Running them neat, straight, and well straped helps in the looks department...IMHO.

You might try wire loom.  Its always best to encase your wires inside something, regardless of whether they can be seen, to avoid possible rubbing and creating a short.  You can find it at most auto parts stores.

I found that "duck tape" makes a CHROME tape that will hide most wires when next to bars, ect.
