	WAS WONDERING if any other PROX 2 owners out there might have a photo or know where I can find a photo, taken from the drivers seat that shows the handlebars and controls? All my controls (reverse, beams, warmers etc)wiring seems to be exposed along the handlebars and I was wondering if maybe the guy I bought it from removed some sort of cover when he changed the handlebars. OR anyone know of a cover wrap type deal kinda like an ace bandage (black) that I could use? I'm just always worried I'm gonna catch a wire with a glove or something and then mess it up. Any help appreciated DAN IN DERRY 91 Indy 500 Favorite Quotes: I read it on Snowmobile Fanatics ... I'll take care of it... I'll be back in just an hour... Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	I'd use electrical tape if you are worried about ripping them off.

	on my 04 pro xr 800 all the wires are exposed exsept for a pad which is right in the center but that only covers where the riser bolts to the handlebars. i jsut zip tie the wires leaving them a bit loose so they can move. ive never had a problem with catching the wires with my gloves or with branches. im pretty sure all your sled should have is that little pad 04 Pro XR 800- slp can, vforce3, chrome windsheild, carbon fiber front bumper, diamond plate skidplate, 97 XCR 440- vforce delta reads, 1.25 xforce track, m-10 suspension, clutched, geared, 2 in bar risor, new windshield Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	my 700 Pro X2 is the same way, I just have it zip tied in a couple spots. I've also never had a problem with catching anything on the wires. I'm sure you could get some wire wrapping stuff if you wanted but I wouldn't worry about it. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	If you're lucky enough to find one, you could get a handlebar cover from a 2002 Pro X 440 Fan. I'm pretty sure that was the only Pro X that had a full coverage handlebar pad. Here's a pic of the 02 proX fan handlebar cover on my old 600 Pro X. I wish I had kept that cover when I got rid of the sled.... my brain hurts past to present: 71 AC Lynx, 2000 340 Deluxe, 2001 Edge X 600, 2002 Pro X 440 fan, 2003 Pro X 600, 2006 MXZ 550X and now a 2004 Pro XR 800 Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

Quote originally posted by likinit2 Thanks to all for your input. Looks like zip ties for now. And a big thanks to likinit2... That photo will be a big help in putting the controls, wires and lines back where they were on the handle bars and on the steering post. Mine were all over the place. I also searched handle bar wrap and found I may be able to use bicyle bar wrap, Could even serve to dress it up with all the colors and such they have available. Again thank you every one...
