Throttle cable

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?

I got away with the standard cable, I'm glad about that, as it looks like a tank and air box removal job to me.

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 2 handle bar switch cables were extended and a new set of longer brake and clutch braided hoses (Hel).

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

Whatever works best for you ergonomically, is the best solution. Personally I find the steering on those Monsters to be quite sensitive and the front can get quite light under power so I prefer them narrower and lower to keep the weight over the front So something like ACE bars or Raask Jota bars would work well for me especially with rear sets if I had an S4R style top clamp. The S4 doesn't offer many options, but clip ons with a decent riser work quite well.

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.
