;Goal<br />
* The DS and FX have an armored front brake line with ABS wire clipped onto it that runs in front of the handlebars.<br />
* It usually obscures the ignition but sometimes the lower part of the dash display.<br />
* 2017 models' design resolves this.<br />
<br />
;Motivation<br />
: 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.<br />
<br />
;Steps<br />
# Remove the 4 dashboard bolts.<br />
# Remove the 2 headlight bolts.<br />
# Push dashboard through loop in brake line.<br />
# Unplug the 2 headlight wires.<br />
#: The main connector is tight; it's easier remove the bulb, but don't touch it.<br />
# Put the brake line on other side of headlight wires.<br />
# Replace the headlight wires.<br />
# Wire-tie the ABS wire plug to the larger plug behind the dashboard, so it doesn't dangle.<br />
# Replace the dashboard with 4 bolts.<br />

# Observe the arc of the brake line.<br />
#: Is it forming too tight an arc? Move it if so.<br />
# Turn the handlebar to its extremes, and observe the brake line.<br />
#: Is it being pinched, or rubbing against anything sharp? Use zip-ties to hold it away, if so.<br />
#: [[File:brake2.jpg|400px]]<br />
# Compress the front forks (lean on bike), while moving handlebar to extremes, and observe brake line.<br />
#: Is it rubbing against anything sharp?<br />
# Repeat until you're satisfied there is no way the brake line is endangered. <br />
# Bolt on the headlight.<br />
# Perform a final check (turning the handlebars and compressing the forks) for abrasion.<br />
# Test drive: go up/down curbs, or otherwise compress / test range of motion.<br />
