Clutch pull still very hard...

I'm definitely not against that idea... I just thought it would be a simple job of replacing a few "consumables" to get the bike on the road and try it out, see what it needs. When did that ever work out?!? ;D
I wonder how the riding position would be... don't forget the US high bar models also have forward(er) foot controls... throttle cables might be adaptable... electrics no problem... brake line between MC and brake light switch?

Brake pipe use a stainless braided one, throttle cables use same madel as bars long electric cables tuck out of way.
Total cost will be more than a cable alone but is more "future proofed"

My parts manual shows different throttle cable numbers for my bike... but I suppose a little too long is better than a little too short! ;D

Exactly!

What i meant was use the throttle and clutch cables from the same model as you get bars for, long cables can be as much of a pia as short ones

Gotcha - I thought you meant the throttle cables were the same for both models..
