Maybe one of the other 800 models would work in much the same way? Chopper guys might have a solution too.
PC I wonder if a nomad cable would work on the 800?I'll have to stop by the shop sometime this week to pic up a few things so I'll check with them to see.
Kw that's a great idea using fuel hose to avoid chaffing issues......hope your pics come through.

Chief: I tried twice to post a photo, but got thown off the website...?

....If it's any help to your decision Aidan likes the speedo cable above the bar rather then through or under.I'll agree with that decision and plan on running my cabla above the bar

- March 24, 2013, 13:47:11 PMRatman to be quit honest with you I never even gave that a thought.My bar is still uninstalled at this time.. reason being with the bar on it will never fit out my basement doorway(man cave)I bring the bike in there because its much easier to work on,space wise.I'll be moving it to the garage once the snow is finally gone then I'll install the bar.Please let me know how you cured this issue.

- March 24, 2013, 11:22:24 AM D1, kw-retrorider, mmedur, and anyone else who has installed a set of front engine guards were did you run your speedo cable over the top or under the bar? I find it seems to be really tight if you go under the bar and trun the wheel far left, the natural way it will fall at park. Going to check if there is a slightly longer cable out there. Thanks....
