    MX bar conversion

    91 1100M what cables and lines have to be lengthened to use MX bars? can i reroute the clutch line and throtal cable to achieve this? im pretty sure my front brake lines will be ok as they are slightly longer than standard anyway.

    Oz I've got a 90 mod in at the mo & the clutch line has plenty of length,It's been rewired but from memory the electrics reach,if the throttle cable doesn't reach you can route it outside the fork leg (not the best method but the cheapest)& zip tie it on.Although any decent bike shop should be able to lengthen it pretty cheaply. Cheers

    Oz ,I just had a thought.The Gixer I refered to is a 7/11 so the dimensions will be a bit different to yours.The best method to find out if it all reaches is to 'Suck it n see' as hi bar conversions all vary depending on the type of Riser,Bars etc.. Cheers
