I hear you and I didn't accept it. It's still there. Although it's warmed up here around Toronto, it's the last thing getting done and then into storage for the winter.

That is a crap job, looks like they put +6" throttle and idle cables on and routed them way out in front, WTF! Dealer probably too lazy to order the correct length cables.

When I had my dealer put on my new apes, they had cables custom made to length needed... no special charges or extreme costs for that. But they do a lot of custom building there so they have guys that know what they're doing.

In any case, it looks like your dealer had a first-timer putting your new cables on... definitely shouldn't be way out in front, coming back inward thru the TT's. If you wanted to put a windsheild on, you could have conflicts with that arrangement.

Hopefully they'll listen to you when you take it back in. With declining income these days, you'd think most dealers would want to pay attention to customer service!

Good luck.
