Or you could reroute the existing wiring and get rid of the cable ties altogether. It's a FREE mod!

FYI, the clear ones usually aren't UV safe.

not clear, grey. i doubt they are UV rated however, but i don't expect this will be a 'oh snap' issue

Best thing to do is just take the tank off and open up the wire looms. Some things will route differently un modified, some will require additional length....

be very careful when taking this advice.  i got bored one day and was like "im gonna get rid of the wire ties on the frame!!" 

i tend to overdo things and now im about 6 hours into it with rerouting everything, removing the part of the wiring harness that goes in front of the steering stem, and preparing for new gauges.  i took a good 4 hours to get all the wiring done and out of the way, but i still have to pull it all apart and shorten the wires and rewrap the harness so it eliminates just about everything.  when im done it will have the minimum of wires shown, the minimum length the wires can be, and i will have a different set of gauges (and headlights but i dont consider that a part of the wiring im working on).

it will look great once its done but its gonna take a while.

and they told me it was gonna be impossible to put different gauges on a immobilizer bike.  ha!!

but it will be way hot when im finished.  almost no wires showing, new headlight, new gauges, and a fresh paint job.

at least i still have the ktm to ride in the meantime.
