easy how high ya going.
If my dumbarse can do you can to. Plenty of tips out there on the forum just need to search. I have a couple, use weed eater string to run wires through from the top to the bottom and you don't have to take apart you wires from the housing and buy the extender cheap and easy. And yes you will need longer throttle, idle and clutch cables and a break line as well if you go 12" or higher.

as always keep up posted,
side note HOLY CRAP we just had a rally in town (Austin ROT) and I couldn't believe the number of apes out there. They have gotten so popular in the last few years. Even as few as six or seven years ago you hardly ever saw any and now they are everywhere.

I always read how it took hours to run the wires, running my cables was like a minute and a half each side. Just getting the wires through the bar.

Now it did take me a half hour to bleed the brakes and when I say a half hour I mean 30 minutes of pumping the front brake.

It's a tedious job,but no more difficult than any other bars.The hardest part for me is those stupid little ferrels that go on the ends of the throttle and idle cables.Seems like I could always use another hand when dealing with them.Make sure you have them clamped securely at all times while you're working on them or they will swing down and possibly damage something.I'm with fxst00,pulling the wires is a piece of cake.I use a piece of solid electrical wire,feed it through,tape the wires to it and pull them back through the bars,but bleeding that long brake line,you'll be pumping the brake handle forever.
