message me your price and address...all the cable fit in a flat rate usps envelope...just check to make sure there is zero fraying in the cables....i'll send a check if that is okay...or, i can deposit direct to any major bank like chase, bofa, citi, wells fargo, etc...i'm not in a rush...

I don't run in trees very often at all so I think I'll leave them for now. If needs down the road change, I can always do it then. And is a little too much cable a bad thing? As about the only measurement I could give would be a guesstimate by taking the kx high and stock lengths and calculating the difference.

Thanks again for all the advice,
Mike

For what it's worth. atv bend bars have that rise that some are looking for. They are not freak show tall ape hangers but not like the drag bars they give us for handebars nowadays either.

I went with 4-1/4" of total rise on my bike and needed new cables from Motion Pro... $40 for clutch, $40 for throttle. AND a longer brake line too (from Bill Blue). Pricey, but worth every penny. I went +4" and if I had it to do again, I'd have gone +6 so I could get one more inch higher and have a little more slack.

Did you just take off your push cable and not worry about it? And did you go +4" on all the cables? I just got off the phone with motion pro and went + 2.5 on the throttle and +2 on the clutch. I went less on the clutch because I could actually get it on the lever and where I needed it, it just has no slack at all. I got the push cable also. Wish I would've read this before ordering all of it haha.

Call 'em back. I seriously doubt they've started making it yet. It usually takes a week or so before they even start.

When I got the throttle cable, it was actually a pair of them. I can't remember if I ended up paying $40 PER cable. But yeah, I do have the push one disconnected, but still in place... it's just acting as a spare.

If we were closer, I'd sell you my cables and order longer ones.
