Finally!! The truth about whether you need to extend cables or not. So many out there that say “no”, and may get away with it, but it’s not “right”. Do it right the first time! If you can’t afford it, wait until you can - spoken by someone that has experienced the pain of swapping bars without swapping cables…because they all said you didn’t need to. Great video!
@heybruh32742 жыл бұрын
well friend, the people that make the bars said you don't need to. Just depends on whose "truth" meshes with what you want to believe eh? Definitely a BIG difference between what is FACT and what is a personal preference.

That tech is playing it safe, I have installed several of these kst’s and you don’t have to extend anything, just route your wires in safe manner and my customers have had them on for a long time and no issues. But nothing wrong with installing the extension at all, great job!!
