handlebar swap
I am struggling with the riding position on my S, so i've got a yoke and bars from an N.
I have the longer clutch cable, but do i need the throttle cables, or is it just a case of re routing them ? Same goes for the switchgear wiring, is that just a re route for them ? |

Re: handlebar swap
I found using my Gilles Vario bars that I needed longer throttle & choke cables. My bars are higher than the S, but lower than the N.
Switch gear was ok

Re: handlebar swap
might help if you tell us what year the bike is as the first and second gen bikes are different as regards to S/N such as throttle switchgear.

Re: handlebar swap
N top yoke won't fit. Different offsets. You also need the lower triple.

Re: handlebar swap
Why have you drilled an N top yoke that already has risers...to fit risers? Am I missing something? Do you mean you drilled an S top yoke?
