it is in the 70s here and i had a nice 70m roll and cigar out in the desert...getting back on the ride and letting her warm up my eye was drawn to a familiar thing...and for at least the 100th time, i considered fixing it...and then i wondered why...
the item is the wire-dressing on the bars...the colored rounds are exposed for about 1/4 inch or so past the overbraid/sheath...and it always irritates me...i simply do not like the look of exposed wires.....it should at least have heat-shrink on it...but no way after the harness is assembled..i am due for service and will look at the other bikes and bring this up then...what i would want is a boot of sorts and for that will have to look around...i may dress it with a bit of leather or a braid or even paracord, which i have laced on the levers for grip and heat protection (needed here from experience)...now that i think on it a bit i may try an over-large bit of shrink...pull the connector and it over...it would not be tight at the harness end, but at least she would be dressed....but again why ? - i would bet that a 20g BMW does not have exposed wires...or even that other bike...and my 10g honda don't...
are any of yall's bikes like this? .. any suggestions for covering this last 1/4 inch?...surely not electrical tape on a bike that cost the best part of 20gs?
