Default Rocker Handlebar question
I just received 12" Zbars with 3" risers. Do the stock control cables need to be replaced or is there enough "play" in them to keep them on the bike?

Ok.. Got the new bars on.. Changed the Brake and Clutch cables. Will change the throttle cables later and also the control housings.
