Would I need longer cables if I just replace my handlebars? Or is that only if I added risers?

I want a high bend for sure, but I also want red bars lol, and only the highbends come in red by convenience for myself :-P I'm also debating the tusk hand guards as well, I think ill just end up cutting the levers down if needed; seeing how there ground up on the ends already.

also rob, you need to trim that kawi mullet man, I wish I had my bike up here, so I could take a pic of how I trimmed mine; turned out good.
I used Tusk CR mid bend, with 1' risers. The Tusk CR High bend is only 1/4" taller (3.5" vs 3.75"). Should fit with stock cables IMO. Also, using the Tusk hand guards and am pleased. Levers cut, cleaned, and finished with shrink tube.

Got the bars mounted. Had to reroute the throttle cables and reposition the front brake hose bracket. for them to work. Clutch cable was a no go. No way in hell it would reach. Ordered an 3" extend one from Motion Pro for $40 should be here some time next week. May do the throttle cables in the future also, they are only $35 each.

I will get some pics when I get everything put back together.

I put Pastrana FMX pro taper bars (4.75" tall) with Tusk Big bar clamps (0.75" tall) on my 07' S and all cables reached fine.

seems to be that the 06' and 07' S models have longer cables and the 08' and up SF have shorter
