;Goal
* The DS and FX have an armored front brake line with ABS wire clipped onto it that runs in front of the handlebars.
* It usually obscures the ignition but sometimes the lower part of the dash display.
* 2017 models' design resolves this.
;Motivation
: It's okay to re-route the cable or use some strap (zip tie or hook-and-loop) to pull it towards the handlebar to clear up the cockpit.
;Steps
# Remove the 4 dashboard bolts.
# Remove the 2 headlight bolts.
# Push dashboard through loop in brake line.
# Unplug the 2 headlight wires.
#: The main connector is tight; it's easier remove the bulb, but don't touch it.
# Put the brake line on other side of headlight wires.
# Replace the headlight wires.
# Wire-tie the ABS wire plug to the larger plug behind the dashboard, so it doesn't dangle.
# Replace the dashboard with 4 bolts.

# Observe the arc of the brake line.
#: Is it forming too tight an arc? Move it if so.
# Turn the handlebar to its extremes, and observe the brake line.
#: Is it being pinched, or rubbing against anything sharp? Use zip-ties to hold it away, if so.

# Compress the front forks (lean on bike), while moving handlebar to extremes, and observe brake line.
#: Is it rubbing against anything sharp?
# Repeat until you're satisfied there is no way the brake line is endangered.
# Bolt on the headlight.
# Perform a final check (turning the handlebars and compressing the forks) for abrasion.
# Test drive: go up/down curbs, or otherwise compress / test range of motion.
