This may help if you want to try it yourself:

I put mine with my buddy. We were not expert and took our time to do it. I didn't change my cables or brake line.

You will love your PYO!!!

Was it tight using your factory cables and wires with the 10 inchers? Any chance you could get away with 12's using factory cables and wires?

please define "rerout" cuz i put 10s on my bike i couldn't see anyway that the brake and clutch could go throught the faring, like they are suppsoed to, and be long enough to reach.....
I'm curious to hear how you did it.....

run the clutch cable between the frame engine, along the left side of the frame into the fairing and back out the hole on inner. (going from memory - but this should get ya where you need to be)

as for brake i just ran it next to the bar into the inner cap. - i had triples off, so i way have fished the master thru a diff way, was 2 years ago and i dont have those bars anymore. i have abs - so not sure if line is any longer/shorter but stock cable work with the 10's
