pk Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Does anyone know why some bikes run the controls cabling under the middle of the handlebars while others run along the handlebar and in front of the risers? Is it just a case of it doesn't matter and whatever they feel like when that put it together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's just inattentiveness when putting it together (handguards were on upside down as well; clutch cable had about 3/4" free play, etc.) Took the FJ home and went over basically every nut & bolt, checked wiring, cable routing. Sure glad we "paid" all that money for setup. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
