If a bike has a style of handlebar that prevents the cable from passing over, then it should pass under, so that it can still align with the steering head.

I will look into that, would hate to have a problem from the get go

Thanks for the heads up

You should try to tag along with our NW HDF meet & greet. It's the weekend of AUG 19th. Keep and eye out for it. Here's a link from last year.

JaronB,
Im down near the OR/WA border in Vancouver. I read the threads on the meet&greet, sounds like a great time. I will keep my eye out for it, but not sure if I will be able to make it. My family and friends go white water rafting around then, but I would def like to try.

Congrats on on a great bike at a great price. I gotta feel for the guy who had to sell it. I've been in that boat myself.

Congrat's on the new bike, I love my new Dyna. Went from an 09 Triumph Bonnie T100 to the 2011 Dyna Super Glide. Wish I would have bought the Dyna first and been done with it.

Congrats on the new bike. I live up in Battle Ground, lots of great riding around here. Maybe take the liscence plate off and see if you like the fender better. You can always move the plate lower.
