Those cables were driving me crazy!

The electrical cables are not even following the handle bar curves as many other brands do. They come straight out in the open and get tied up to the bar as an after thought. I had to fix this, and this is how.

I saw these cable ties on a buddy's Triumph Speedmaster, and I knew this would work for my bike, so I ordered 4 of them from the local Triumph dealer.

The Triumph brand is hidden when the ties are closed.

Here is the part number.

I tied up the electrical cables to the other cables (clutch & brake) with two ties on each side.

Much better looking, and I'm much happier! Now you can put those terrible reusable Honda zip ties under the seat for emergencies like loosing a bolt on your license plate maybe.

That's nice. I had to go to the Triumph dealer today to get some wheel weights and ordered some of these ties too.
