Cyclone seat
Recovering the seat on the Cyclone.The guy recovering the seat asked if I wanted to run the wire for the taillight on top of wood between foam.Has anyone done this or is it better to leave it on the tunnel like it came from the factory, thanks.

Re: Cyclone seat
I can't think of a good reason to bury the wire inside the seat. The original setup seems to work fine, where the tail light wire is taped in place down the center of the tunnel.

Re: Cyclone seat
Think I will leave as is.Just thought it made some sense to have the board flat on the tunnel and not damage the wire.
Just a thought while it is apart, thanks.

Re: Cyclone seat
I have used a router and cut a groove deep enough in the wood so the wire is flush with the bottom edge.
