Love that bike of your.
Once you get those things done, please post up a pic of you sitting on the bike. I notice we have the same seat. I am thinking of going to 14s on mine, wanna see the riding position. Also if you could list your height when you do, I would appreciate it

right on, I appreciate it......I'm thinking 13s or 14s would be perfect, what length cables and extensions you have to get?

None, just rerouted everything, seems to work fine with no binding. I will be getting all black braided stuff, will probably only need 2 or 3 inches to get evrything back to stock configuration with the wires ran internally

Thanks bro.!! Yeah, i almost went with the Road 6 bars but i was the opposite if you. Once i saw the angle of the grips on the BR bars i went with them! I went with Magnum Shielding Black Chromite cables with mine. Check them out when you go to change yours.

I have road 6 12s on mine and they fit with no rerouting just unbolt the controls and put them on the new bars I bet 14s would work with minimal work but if you want to be sure get the 12s great bars though
