Now that I've been exploring on my DR650 I've discovered that I'm a little bigger than the bike was designed for. I've had the local bike finally raise my bars about an inch with some bar risers, but ... it's not enough!
The wires (clutch / throttle) are pretty much snug when the bars are fully turned now, so raising them another inch (with new bars or a 2 inch riser or both) will put them in the disaster area for the cables ... so ...
A ) I can have them rerouted to the wrong side of the bike and under the tankrather than rapping around the frames neck at the front, but someone told me that's a big no no and I shouldn't do that. :shoot:
B ) I can order longer cables. But, the local shop says replacement cables are all they can handle, which are the stock cables. Does anyone know where I can get longer cables that will fit the DR650se, or even where I can find out the length (short of removing them and taking a tape measure to them)?:mad3:
