Bolt on the new bars, risers or controls and set them exactly where you\u2019ll ride them. Turn the bars lock-to-lock to see the full sweep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Simulate Cable Routing with Wire<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Run the wire in the desired path that you will want to run the cable.\u00a0 Try to avoid running it against parts with paint or chrome and also hot areas.\u00a0 You will also want to avoid sharp angles in the cable.\u00a0 For example, take the wire and run it from the throttle housing on the handle bars to the carburetor or the throttle body.\u00a0 The clutch cable and brake line can be measured similarly from their corresponding connection points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Measure the Length of the Stock Cable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When doing this, only measure the length of the housing; do not include the length of the free wire at each end. Including the free wire in your measurement will result in a cable that\u2019s too short or too long once installed, which can lead to improper tension, restricted movement, or even failure to engage your controls properly. So always measure only the sheathing, nothing more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Calculate the Difference<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Subtract the length of your stock cable from the new measurement that you have made with the wire. This will give you the + or \u2013 length that you will now need to order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5: Order Your Cables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When ordering your cables or lines at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/motorcycle\/cables-cable-clamps-and-parts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dennis Kirk<\/a>, enter in the make, model and year of your motorcycle and you will be given the correct fitment options for your bike.\u00a0 Choose the lines and cables with the correct + or \u2013 length that you measured.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about the process or would like a recommendation on motorcycle cables and lines, our Tech Team at techsupport@denniskirk.com\u00a0will be able to assist you in getting your ride back on the road
