Cabled lengths are fine, I put it on mine, but found out its not dimpled, so for me, I couldnt use them without running the cables externally. Decided not to, so its sitting, didnt block the view on my 1200R but mine is mounted out and up with the stock speedo and tach, i think the new one might be closer to the bars, so I dont know if they would work.
But right now, I am focused on getting it broke in so I can ride it like it should be ridden.

It doesn't interfere with the tach at all, but can with the indicator lights depending on the bar angle.

Hi guys - first post, doing my intro post here. Picked up a new (used) Roadster. The first used one I've seen in my area, and I snatched it up. I don't think I can post a pic until I get 5 posts, so I'll try to hurry it along.

Harley has a QD windshield, but costs 3 times as much.

Has anyone done the further forwards on a Roadie yet? I am seriously contemplating. I like to be able to stand when I do RR tracks and stuff, and I don't know if they will do ok for that.
Also considering a Mustang Super tripper. Just broke 500 miles today, and am waiting for rush hour to pass, so I can do a little freeway. Did 80 miles last night on it, the bars are ok, the seat ok, but the legs were cramped. I'm using muscles I haven't used in years. I have a sneaking suspicion once I change the seat that I'll need to do something with the bars. Haven't quite decided yet, but that scram up above looks kewl.
Also looking at sissy bars. I need some place to strap groceries.

Thanks for the quick reply. It looks good.
From the pictures on the site, it looks like it attaches to the handlebars only.
Is it secured to the forks also somehow?
And does the XR have similar large diameter upper fork sections, like the Roadster does.
