Thanks for the link, I often see them on Aliexpres and was tempted to order one there but the build quallity is not always good, you need to get lucky like in the lottery

Put mid controls on my bike, I don’t think I’m going back to forwards. Actually wish I did this a long time ago!

Looks like you may need a longer clutch cable to fit those Flyer bars. There's a very good chance the position of your hands/arms with the new bars will be more comfortable than that ^^.

I ended up with too much cable and brake line when I swapped bars. I was able to route them all except the brake line...new one on order.

Ha good eyes man. Ya I definately was pushing it on my clutch cable after I put on those tall risers. If I like the bars I'll order cables. Yours looks deadly with those new low bars but the pics of yours with the Flyers is really what made me finally pull the trigger. The fact that I'm also a PHI Flyers fan had nothing to do with it, lol

Cool. I'll be interested to see how yours turns out with them. You can rotate them almost straight up and down and it still be comfortable on a long ride due to the turnback at the grips.
Mine was mounted on stock 2" risers and the original owner fitted +4" brake and clutch line/cable... might have also added extra electrical because there seems to be a ton of it that I had to tuck in.
