New SS Throttle Cables ?
I just put the new cables on and those rubber things that protect the adjusters look out of place. I am leaving them off. Was wondering who put them on with new cables and who left them off.
I only ride in the rain when I get caught so I am wondering if I should leave the adjusters exposed. I know about the Chrome covers but I would have to take them apart again to get them on.

My SS cables did not come with rubbers so I figured they did not need them , sure as hell not taking the ones off the stock cables to put on the SS ones . The adjusters are smaller and polished or chrome , they look fine as they are !

I put the same chrome covers on after I changer to Stainless cables. The set I used was HD. The so called snap rings were crap. They wouldn't hold the 2 halves securely together and kept opening. Took the cables off and slid small o-rings on, 1 below the adjuster and 1 above. After re-assembling and adjusting put the 2 halves together and popped the o-rings into the snap rings place. Hold everything tight and the rings are nearly invisible.
