10" Monkey bars....Stock cables work?

I'm going to be attempting to install 10" PYO Monkey bars on my 07 SG tomorrow. Will the stock cables (Clutch, brake, throttle, idle) work? How about the wiring?

I recall reading that rerouting everything will work, but would like to confirm this.

Thanks!

I think they'll work but a lot of guys go a little longer on the clutch cable so it doesn't bind. It will get pretty tight.

You will need +4" over stock for proper slack. You don't want to over stretch the stock cables.

Let us know if you need any help.

Thanks!

A lot of people use the stock cables.

Stock cables work perfectly, reroute the clutch cable.

I ordered the cable kit from PY and only ended up using the Clutch Cable. Everything else wasnt needed. I hope you are a religious man cause those bars are a MPINTA to pull wire through. Yours will not be as bad as 2010+ Fly by wire plus control wires sucks to pull through those bars. BUT after its all said and done and you have taken what ever kools your nerves you will love the bars. Have a wonderful day!
