Did the a few years ago so can't remember.

My bars have dimples with holes in them and they are directly under the housing. I don't believe there is any wire outside the housing on the right side.

I'll check tonight.

the hole.

On both sides the holes are right under the controls.

On the right side, my wires are not visible. On the left side I have the wires exit the controls and go into the bars; very little is visible.

On the right side don't forget to plug the hole in the control, else water will get inside the control as the hole faces forward.

Good Luck

Doc

Hey Doc,

I've been meaning to plug that hole. What did you use? I also went with a single throttle line, so I need to find something to fill the second hole there. I think there is also something to fill on the left side, but I'm not a 100% about that one.

Thanks,
R

Hi Rocky,
I also went to a single throttle cable. I plugged the return cable hole with a stainless steel button head screw that I picked up at the local hardware store. I can't remember the size, I believe it was 8mm, and I had to cut it off because it was a little too long.

Rocky,

I'm talking about the big hole where the cable exited. I temporarily covered it with black electrical tape before I screwed the two halves together. The 'temporarily' has now been 2 years and it's still holding well.
