Don't know if there's another discussion on this topic, so if there already is, please direct me to that one and delete this one.
Has anyone re-routed the big ole' ugly ass brake and throttle cable that sticks up above the instrument cluster? I'm getting sick and tired of looking at this when riding. I know Ducati was going for the retro / dirt bike look, but I'm not liking it.
Wondering if I have to do any cutting or just tucking. Any suggestions?

Well you could always go internal throttle and clutch cables, go see exile cycles, but you ain't building a custom !
I agree tho they are untidy but don't annoy me! Maybe in a years time when I have it mechanically sound , as my wife says " you'll start bloody fiddling!":angel12:

I don't like them either and have just put on a dart fly screen and had to zip tie them out of the way.

I have a classic and was at first a little bemused why Ducati had cables looping above the bars but didn't bother me enough to want to change anything. However, like traceyleep, I installed a dart screen (light tint) solely for providing more protection against wind and straightaway realized it makes the the cables "disappear"

Yes it does make them less obvious! Thanks for the reply Graeme.

Think I am going to get a dart screen! They look great

Yep the Dart screen certainly helps hide the cables
