Fj1200 bar swap

[Stinka]

Got myself a pair of fj1200 clipons off the bay

I'm understanding that I need a +1" longer brake hose

But it's horrific for a big lad like me (5'9" 19st massive gut) so over winter I'm doing these bars and the zx14 rear shock, so I'll not reality be able to tell you the difference in feel vs standard, having not had the experience of riding my stock svs regularly. I'm just going straight for these mods ready for when I pass
