Thinking about raising m handle bars to shoulder height. About 15 inches above the seat.  Not going to full ape hangers though, what I need is a place to get cables (throttle, clutch, brakes etc..) Can be Steele braid, any ideas of where I can go or have my mechanic go to get them..


Thanks

You're only limited by your wallet.

The best results would be from custom lines and cables made especially for your set-up.

That sounds like a cool idea.

Do you have a picture of the bars?

I agree, a custom shop would be of the most assistance.
Custom length brake and Clutch cables are common, but you also have the electrics to work on.
I'd suggest doing the electrical work carefully and with patience to make sure it is done right.
Electrical problems (especially the intermittent ones) are a bitch.

Good luck, post pictures... cooldude

Try 'XF6', one of the club sponsors.  He lists Speigler Brake Lines, and I know he can get the cables too.  Give Daryl a call with your measurements, and he will set ya up  cooldude

And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...
