ive fitted some renthal streetfighter bars to the bike and although the cables reach there a tiny tiny bit tight,probably not affecting anything,but is it possible to buy longer cables? and how hard are they to fit?

Thanks very much for any help :wink:

To get over that problem I hacksawed off about an inch either side. You could get cables custom made but I reckon it would be pretty expensive.

Thanks very much for any help :wink:ben650, you say toit, does the toit cable cause the revs to rise when turning bars to the left. be very carefull here as an overtoit cable could in the extreme brake/snap! maybe trimming an inch or so off bars is worth a go. :riding:when put renthals on mine i moved handgrips in 10mm from bar ends and works/looks ok with standard cables. bar end protectors on ends also.
