My problem now is the bend is 90 degree in the elbow and should be 45 due to the hole in the fairing that it is fed through. It is now at a weird angle from the elbow to the fairing and cant be good long term. I cannot for the life of me find the exact cables that were on it! So frustrating. I have searched everywhere. I looked the ones 07ultraguy advised and they have 90 degree elbows as well. I even looked on S&S website as well! They have a 48" throttle but has 90 degree bend!
Look on drag specialties website...
