	here is the situation: Put on a 2 inch Rox riser on my 2005 yamaha and if I put the foam padding back on the bars I can't see my speedo when I sit down. Is there a product out there that (aftermarket pads or something) I can put on my bars to cover up the wiring that runs down the bars to protect them from the elements and possibly snagging that will still give me a clean look?

	When i have my 8in riser on my sled, i can't see the speedo either. I also wanna know. It seems like they only make bigger ones. Like pro taper ones. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	As far as you wires go, I'd neatly use electrical tape and bundle them up. You may have to live with the fact that you can't see your speedo. You could take a razor blade and hollow a pad out but I still don't know if that would lower it enough. I did that on one of my old sleds just to make the pad fit right.
