Yes, the kit comes with 4 inch longer lines.

Hello Chris

Of course it depends on the bar shape, but the renthals would be at least 3 inches back and 3 inches higher than stock. Very comfortable.

They will just touch the tank at full lock, but bear in mind that they have quite a bit of pull back at the ends.

The bars that come with the kit did not touch the tank, but they were a bit too straight at the ends for me, if you get my drift.

Ergos are a very personal thing - I do not like straight bars...I was the same with my B-King - I turfed the standard bars within 2 days.

I have to admit that the look of the bike has changed, and it will take a bit of time to get used to it.

However, when you get off the bike after 2 hours and you are not sore, who cares!

The great thing about fitting a new top clamp for dirt bike style bars is that you now have an almost unlimited choice of bars/riser blocks to tailor the mighty Bus to YOU.

Cars come with adjustable seats and steering wheels...why not bikes?



Edit - Oh, BTW, the bars in the pic are the Renthal road bike low model.

If I already had longer brake likes, how would I go about buying the setup you have? Individual parts? Or is the kit customisable?

Roughly how much did it cost you?
