JuXXtin Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Having a very tight fit on getting the throttles cables and front brake level to mesh nicely together. Is there a trick here? Maybe my metals tubes on the upper part of the t-cables are bent from stock. Gotta any up close pics fellas... umm, and gurls...

JuXXtin Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 Ok, nevermind, found it... y'all are cutting the brake line stopper tab off. That should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wockman Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Ok, nevermind, found it... y'all are cutting the brake line stopper tab off. That should do it. I had the same problem. 30 seconds with a dremel tool and it was good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem. 30 seconds with a dremel tool and it was good to go. Or 14" cutoff wheel... In the end though, looks like you would only need to cut half of the tab if you wanted to keep a little bit there for the original stopping purpose.

01xxallen Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 It gave me an excuse to buy a Dremel tool. I think on the clutch line you can remove it from the frame clamp near the headstock and bend it up slightly. I haven't done it yet, but mine is too tight.

(IMO) I haven't check the left bar for any kinks, but it seems ok from my memory at the moment. The bars were installed already but the right was installed incorrectly so I was fixing that. I think I'll double check the clutch side now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFT Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I just had to grind that tab off of Jackie's 2001XX this weekend. For some reason I didn't have the clearance problem on my '97 XX when I installed the VFR bars. I love my dremmel tool!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
