Default Re: Throttle cable routing/longer cables? Curvy.

The s model yoke is really thin. My mate got billet inserts made up at his work to fit inside the top yoke. I got the CNC kit second hand for £55 so i cant really complain to much my renthals have arrived today just waiting for a few other things. Might make a wee video if anyones interested but its not a difficult thing to do hopefully

Just out of curiosity, could not drill the original top yoke and mount high risers?
Like Ali says, you need to reinforce the top yoke if you're going to do this

Just fitted the new CNC yoke. I put renthal low bars on the not the ultras. I had to replace the clutch cable and brake lines. The orginaly throttle cables fitted fine when i routed them behind the forks. Bike feels great a million time better than before.

I be fitting a non S OEm top yoke on my S model. It will come with the std high risers. I be aiming to fit std or low renthal bars.
Does anyone know what length brake cables I should get?
I believe std throttle and clutch cable should be ok?


Thanks
Aligowers any pics?

Naked length brake lines should give you plenty of slack to allow for suspension movement.

Otherwise fit the bars and measure out the length with some string, and allow a good extra margin for suspension movement. If they're too short & tight, its an MOT failure & not worth the risk of a line popping out of the banjo fitting on full suspension extension. Sudden brake failure is not good

I had to replace my clutch cable and choke cable with naked cables. Throttles fine if you reroute behind forks. No idea how to upload a photo lol
