superhawk996 Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 They look kinda sketchy, like they were cobbled together. Probably fine, but they'd bother me even if there's no good reason for it. Quote

I had the brake line extended rerouted the throttle cables and straightened the hard clutch line to reach and turn lock to lock. Quote

CALCXX Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 Fwiw, I spent a lot of time adjusting those bars as far rearward and upward without hitting the stock screen or hitting the tank lock to lock. Still love them 20 years later. Oscar, too bad they look goofy. The Giles are definitely prettier. They came from Two Brothers back when they loved Hondas. 1 Quote
CALCXX Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) As long as I am spilling the beans, the #2XX has Lsl bars on it. Imo, even better for long distance. Not as good at triple digit but very comfortable less than. Nowadays the centerpost doesn't hold me away from the tank. My stomach does. Leathers are dangerously tight in that region also. Edit: oh yeah, I had to do the same stuff to extend lines and cables for the Lsl bars. One more edit: If you want to do this on the cheap as I did. Find a good industrial hyd. hose shop that has DOT certified help. They made spec stuff for me cheap. Edited January 27, 2023 by CALCXX 1 Quote
