ive got an 08 xb12scg.... how much higher can i go with the handlebars before i have to swap the clutch cable? i understand that i can get some slack from rerouting the cables... anyone have a pic showing the new routing?

I have 4 wheeler bars on mine. They are almost as high as the Uly bars (a lot higher than stock S model bars) and a little wider I believe. Re-routing the clutch cable did not take much to make it work. However, I had to put Uly throttle cables on and will put a Uly brake line on when I change the brake fluid. Currently I have the front brake hose zip tied straight down the fork tube. I'll try to get some pictures and post later.

I should mention that I think the higher bars are fantastic. I set more upright and my old arthritic neck thanks me for it.

I'm tired of trying to crop my 1 Gig pictures down to 73K. I can e-mail them to you if you like.
