  • Throttle routing with super bike bars.

    The metal sleeve off my throttle assembly only points in one direction, and that's the direction that works best with stock bars but sadly not the bars I put in. I ended up taking out the screw and that funny soda can tab looking washer to have a somewhat proper routing. Obviously My throttle is floppy since the cable isn't secure at the top, does anyone have a fix for this?

    I think I remember having to bend the "pop can" washer a little when inst as lling my throttle cable. If I remember right, I am using a throttle cable off a Virago.

      I ran my cables across the bike, right cables to the left side with long loop back to right and visa versa. Full turns lock to lock with no binding or RPM increase.

        What about the brake line from the front MC to the splitter under the head light?

          If you zoom-in you can see it comes off the master cylinder lime normal then makes a large "S".
          Nothing binds.
