My clutch and brake lines stay put with nothing attached to them. Makes it really clean with all wires through the bars

On my dirt bikes, i cut a length of colored tubing(1/4 id) and run the ziptie thru it around the cables back thru it then around the bars to hold the cables away from the bar at whatever space is desirable. i do this with the clutch cable, brake cables, etc and as i don't have internal wiring on the bars, the starter and kill switch wires to. it is professional looking when done and keeps my tie downs from severing the wires. i did this on my dual sport as well. i like the looks of the chrome wire loom though!

I have the same phenomenon!

One of my friends has 16's and his clutch able is all over the place, so he used a clamp, we've tried to straighten it out, but I keeps flopping around..... I think it's due to it being an active cable whereas the brake line is just a hydraulic hose.
