You will need longer throttle cables, clutch cable and front brake hose. I put ATV bars on mine that are almost as tall as Uly bars but a little bit wider I think. The throttle cables were a must. The front brake hose I re-routed and zip tied to the fork tube but to route it the way it supposed to be, you need a longer one. Some rerouting allowed me to use my original clutch cable, but there is definitely nothing to spare. I have a Uly brake hose and will install it as soon as I feel like bleeding the brakes. There are a lot of horror stories about bleeding the front brake here on BWB.
