Ape Install - help, what is this?
Putting my apes on the Crossbones, took everything apart a few weeks ago and just getting round to installing everything. Going great, but I can't remember where this piece of plastic goes and can't find it in the manual. Anyone know what it is by chance, looks liek maybe its for the throttle cables?

It's down near the tank prior to the cables going behind the tank.
It's just used to make sure they feed one above the other as they go behind the tank.
I can take a picture if I'm not explaining it well enough?

its the little plastic retainer that goes around the throttle cables (at any point) to keep them together..

could it be used to keep the throttle cables together...as in close to each other....
I think I ended up using cable ties to keep everything where I wanted it to be....

yea...what phknsic said... I don't think the location is critical...and you could get buy without it...
