nice .. also this is my first time doing this ... what exact cables do i need ? I have a stock non ABS bike .. but i see idle cable ( I know i need) etc etc .. as far as i know all i need is a clutch , throttle, idle , and front non abs brake line .

Is this correct ? and how do you measure to make sure you get the right length?

First decide on which bars and risers you are going to use. Once you know that then you can post bar height ,length, and pullback and some one here can help figure it out. Al so magnumshilding can help with all of your cable selections.

So im getting ready to mock up and measure for the cables ... im trying to keep the cables as close to the bars to kinda follow the same lines ... is there a issue with keeping them that close .. and from where to where do you measure each cable ?

You better make sure that you will have enough slack to turn your bars side to side.
