Bar swap and cable sizes

Post by mactat2 »

Can anyone tell me are the throttle and clutch cables longer on a uk bandit (with flat bars) than on an import (with clip ons) as i've just put renthals on the missus' gk75a and the cables are now too short :roll: so i need to find longer cables.
cheers

Hi

Yes, the uk spec cables are longer, i got Renthals on mine and used the uk spec cables,you may also need a longer front brake hose, i put Goodrich hoses on mine and managed to get a longer one. Bugger to bleed up though.
