Also assemble all the controls back on to the new bars before you mount them on the risers / yoke as they wont be long enough to get them on.

Can I just ask why you would need to put any controls on before the bars are fitted? Everything splits in half except the clutch mount, but that's no problem because you just take out the cable.

Thats if you wanna split them or take cable off, i found it easy just to assemble them before putting bars on.
Also the throttle tube can go on before fitting the bars.
Everybody has their own methods, that was mine.

Ahh cool. Was worried I was going to get a surprise near the end of fitting it all

It's easier to fiddle with the cables when they are loose. Once the bars are in place, it becomes harder (not impossible) to fit the throttle and clutch cables.

As for the throttle body, it looks quite flimsy to force it in any way so better safe than sorry.

I find it easier when the bars are on so I know how far I can position everything and what angle it can go at.

Anyway, took some pics of the S and N clutch cables just for anyone's future reference.

Did you find it necessary to fit a longer clutch cable? Mine was perfectly fine with the OEM one.

emmm didn't actually try the old one to be honest lol. I had already bought it and since my standard cable was in need of replacement anyway, I just put the longer one on.

But yeh it probably would have reached if it had to. Did you have yours going through the forks then up and over? That's how I've got the naked cable routed

No, straight to lever, not around forks, if mine needed replacement at the time i would have done the same as you tbh cos that would be the route the stock cable went so would look more stock i suppose.

Mines fine with Stock also.
