Installed the garage door opener on the Heritage today. I used regular black zip ties to fasten the wires to the bars. The clear tape things that came with it were crap. Dosent look great. Is there a cleaner way to do it?

Do you have any pic's to show the forum. You will probably get some great feedback with pic's. Anyway, without a pic., for a cleaner look you could of tried running the wires internally on the bars. Do you have braided cables on your bike now? To match them you could wrap the wires or wire in a braided sleeve to match your other cables and just use chrome zip ties on your bars!!! I'm sure others will have some ideas also... Good Luck...
