[QUOTE="CarlHungness, post: 173504, member: 2517"] All my control wiring goes through my handlebars and not a single wire is outside of the bars. This will cause a real headache if I ever have to replace the bars, but it sure looks clean. I put the McDouglator regulator under the battery tray too. My battery tray supports grow into the seat(s) and pannier mounts, This is an old pic, I now have struts that go the the foot-pegs...not the perfect place to mount them, should be on engine, but they work. For all the wiring that goes to the rear I put it in shrink tubing, and shrunk only the ends. I then laid two strips of masking tape on the under-side of the RFM, put GOOP on, laid the shrink tubing on, tied it with string, them removed the masking tape. The GOOP will PEEL off if you pull it gently, slowly. It's been in place for over 20 years and is one of the best ideas I've had on the machine. The wires are protected and out of sight. But I have too many under the left side and they 'mess' with the throttle cable on idle, when the bike is on the side stand, so I don't trust the idle. I should have cut a tunnel in the tank.
