man what a difference, feels so much better for around town ridding. it also wheelies alot easier now because i sit farther back on the seat. with changing the oil the bar swap took me about 5 hours, getting the throttle to not be sticky was a pain, but i got it, anyone else have this problem? i ended up bending the cable bracket down by the throttle bodies. all in all straight forward install.

Can you tell us the price of the bar kit? I'm sure it's been on here before but I'm lazy tonight.

When we were putting the clubman bars on mine I had a minor issue with the throttle sticking at full left lock, but after a ride it went away.

MSRP is $215. Includes bars, 1 grip, new brake and clutch lines, new throttle cables and some tie-wraps. And some installation instructions that pretty much say "take the old stuff off, and put the new stuff on".

mikexup, pretty much what swamp said, instructions are vague at best.

I just bought a kit off ebay for 183.00 shipped. did not think I would go to the high bars but my neck can't take the clubmans. guess i'm getting old.

I have the high bars on order. I can't wait. I'm having fun with the clubmans but they aren't what I'd call comfy.

Please post instructions on the high bar install - what you did to keep the cables from binding. You probably have it all buttoned up so this is a long shot but pics would help of course.

Thanks.
