From what I understand, most people make the stock cables
work by just rerouteing the cables behind the tree. Some
have to replace one of the brake lines, but that's OK
because I want to change to SS braided lines anyway

I did the Pro One 4 up 2 back and there was no way I could run stock cables in stock location. Throttle was sticking on a left turn, clutch was tight all the time, electric lines were also tight. Brake line was iffy. I tried to buy new, but I only needed maybe 3" but hey only offered 2" ready made and said over stock. Some people report that some stock are longer than others, so, how can they say 2" over stock?

I got frustrated and just ran em behind the tree, I don't like it at all. I finagled 2 inches of electric line, and moved the front brake handle 1" closer to the center of the bar. It works enough for me to know I need new lines, if I can ever figure a good way to get them and in the right size and SS quality. I'm not impressed with whats offered or how they sell em.

But, the comfort I got from the risers is well worth whatever it's going to take to get it back they way I know it should be.
I need 2" Longer top Brake line.
3" longer Throttle and Clutch cables.
07 MS SS cables.
