Throttle cable
Hi,
i am fitting a set of Fat bar Contour handle bars (CR High in Gold), dont panic the anoraks out there it is reversible and all the original parts will be kept for a future owner to take her back to OEM if required. i have sourced extra long clutch and brake hoses (Hel) and the 2 handle bar switch cables are being extended. The throttle cable is the only component left to extend, do any of the forum members know of a throttle cable from another model that is longer than the S4rs Last edited by Lessaint; 25-09-2020 at 06:09 AM.. |

Yep Venhill are great, order online and they arrive in a couple of days. (Ordering online has a faster turnaround time than ordering over the phone)

They're wide aren't they? Look good though, I can see why you needed to extend the wires and stuff, they're not obviously that much higher but look much wider. Colour is a good match with the gold forks too.

Nice job
Is that still the original throttle cable or have you sorted a longer one already? |

Potentially, yes if it were a dealer job, however I think you can get away with taping one end to the other and pulling it through the route of the original one, if you are careful. They are a tight fit though but so long as you have enough slack for lock to lock without pulling it, then it probably is ok.

The throttle cable is OEM the only component not changed, the OEM hoses bars will stay with the bike. |

Darren slightly wider than the Mugura OEM bars, but a better position slightly swept further back and slightly higher, I am short & fat so the different dimensions make for a more comfortable ride

The wide bars wouldn't be practical for me anyway as I have a narrow passageway to navigate and I had a nightmare when I borrowed my mates 955i Tiger for a few weeks to get through such a narrow gap with the wide bars, not helped by the sky high seat and tippy toes.

The brake reservoir looks a little low to me, compared to the clutch one. I thought it should be higher than that as it relies on gravity.
