So I'm installing some 5150 whips. I'm trying to figure out the best path to get the two harness wires to the front of the machine. Actually thought about running them up high along the cage to keep them somewhat dry but I've seen most run them through engine along the frame.

I'd say depends on your terrain mainly. I try to avoid the upper cage as much as I can cause I ride a lot of tight wooded areas and anything that can get snagged will get snagged. That being said.......sometimes you gotta what you gotta do. I wouldn't worry about trying to keep the wiring dry though. Them things are pretty well water proofed 👍

Good luck, post some pics when you're done 👍

No whips for me but I do have pod lights on the back roll bar. My wires are in split loom on the top of the cage under the oem roof on the passenger side. Seem pretty well protected there

So, it wasn’t easy, but I ran my whip and rear light wires under the body along the frame like the tail light. The plastic conduit is exposed up under the frame until they hit the back of the front seat. They then route under the seat, below the front floor board and up through the the dash into the front. With all the clamps for the roof, windshield, vent tubes, etc… I didn’t want any more “stuff” running along the ROPs.

yeah, I know I need to clean it.
