Question Question: Throttle Cable route - Road King?
Got the 16" Apes on and I believe I've seen throttle cables ran in front of the bars and on the rider side of the bars correct? Maybe I'm smoking something but they seem to look best in front, please give me some input or ideas on your own opinions, also I'm running plexi windshield.

Thanks Rocketman, what kind of cable guides are you running there? I'm going to have to find some, those look pretty good.

My clutch cable goes through the riser cover, pretty nice.

That look is awesome El Rey, nice and clean, how did you get that in there without kinks in the cable?
