handlebar extensions

what is the procedure for installing the barons handlebar extensions?

 

I removed handlebars does not seem to be enough play in cables to put extensions in. Also do i leave the rubber spacers that that rest against fairing in?

You can use the stock cables. You will need to tug on them a bit from their cable straps and cable routing to get all the extra slack pulled out.

 

The instructions that come with the risers are fairly accurate as I recall. Just installed mine a few weeks ago. They will hit the plastic ignition switch cover and flex it, no harm. The throttle cable will be pulled tight on a full lock turn in one direction (right I think) so the throttle grip becomes harder to twist, but that is a rare and low speed exercise, so manageable.

 

I left the rubber dampers in place. It requires a bit of tugging and working the bars side to side to get the risers under them. Having some help will make it easier. Be sure to pad the tank cover against dropping object or bars.

On my 99 the major culprit was the throttle cables. They run around the fork in the front, and travel down the left side under the neck cover. There is a tie under the left neck cover I took off, and it gave me sufficient slack to put them on.
