Just finished fitting my new bars
 
I have been in the shed/garden all day fitting my new top yoke, renthal bars, new accelerator cables and HEL brake lines.

Took a while removing all the old stuff which I did the other day (the switch gear and cables) I finished removing the top yoke today (had to buy big socket to fit that top nut)

The accelerator cables were a nightmare to get off and on the throttle cam/bodies, took the best part of an hour, but got there in the end. (cut nearly every knuckle lol )

The new brake lines look good but they are a bit too long and I'm not happy with how they are sitting, I'll think of something (any suggestions)

I had to modify the master cylinder bracket a little bit (love my dremel) and it fits quite nice now.

I need to buy some new bar end nuts and bolts as the one I got off the clip-on do not fit into the new bars. (Typical)

Still need to add brake fluid and bleed brakes, add bar ends then all finished.

I have taken a couple of pic for you all to have a look at.

A BIG THANK YOU to El Saxo as I had his Haynes Book which helped to take appart and put back together my bike, and It started as well.

Really nice, got a side on and full on view to see the whole of the bike?

I didn't take any whole bike pics so I'll take some more pics when I add brake fluid and bleed the brakes as the bike is locked away in bed at the moment.

I've just done the opposite to my naked.

Yours looks weird but I am sure that is just because it's unusual. Shame you had to have a silver top yolk instead of that nice black one. :sad:

I've just noticed the way you have your control cables wired. They don't go round the front and though the forks. Do they not get trapped when going from lock to lock on the steering :?:

Yes it is the same as BluePetes, he gave me the link so I could buy the bits and do the same to my bike.

Looks weird to me as well but then I have only just done it. I though the same about the top yoke but it ties in very nicely with the silver frame and bar risers and I quite like it being silver.
