  1. Talon X
I’m currently installing some lighting on the X (back light bar, dome lights, lighted whip). So I was initially thinking of running all the wires along, and down the ROPS. They’ll be in braided wire sleeve. But then I was thinking maybe down the back, and along the floor, or in the tunnel or..?

What have you all done, or what do you suggest? Just thinking I might not like the wire loom with 6 wires in it running down the front bar, and I’ll be installing a half windshield after this As well. Might be fine, just curious what other ideas there might be. TIA

Mines all in split loom zip tied to the cage posts. I’ve had no issues and I have it mostly concealed….

Okay, talked to the SIL who has an X4, and will be installing my power control, and hooking everything up for me and he says the tunnel is the way to go. So, the tunnel it is. Probably obvious to you more experienced but I’ve just never done it and wanted to be sure.

Whatever you do - do not drill holes in the ROPS. Using a wiring loom is a great idea for added protection and wire organization.
