Shorter cables and brake line
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2018 9:03 am
So after putting the drag bars on my bike, I didn't exactly take into consideration the throttle cables, clutch cable, and brake line being too long. I bought new throttle cables (needed them even before the new bars), but they're stock length. I've looked into shortening them myself but am not 100% sure on that. My main concern in ordering a custom brake line or a kit is that I'm not sure of the rise on the stock bars. I measured somewhere around 7 1/2-8 inches, but I'm not sure I measured correctly. If I did measure correctly, do I just need to get a brake line 7-8" shorter than stock? Also, if I order this ( https://www.jpcycles.com/product/240-83 ... brake-line ) do I need pipe fittings between the threaded line ends and the banjo fittings? Sorry for the tons of questions, I just want to make sure I get "go" and "whoa" right before it's on the road.
