not sure if cables will work, but I do know that you do not need to change master cylinder.

done that. Brake line from the master will need changed. If you look, the stocker is a hard little pipe bent to form. You'll want a flex line. Got mine on Ebay from Dudley Perkins in SF, there's a whole kit, includes the splitter junction at the bottom of the tree and the lines to the calipers. Throttle cable and idle cable too. You could do without the idle cable, that's how we rode from the dawn of time until recently. Its kinda a belt and suspenders setup. Not likely your return spring is gonna break. Clutch cable will JUST reach with a little rerouting. I eventualy changed mine to a steel braided longer one.

Will stock throttle cables work with the RK high bars? Edit: I'm buying new cables anyways (Sterling Chromite II) but am wondering if I should go +2.

Thanks,
Rick
