I know this is a long shot, as most of us go the other way, but I'm putting some taller bars on my Monster that are slightly wider as well.  Anyone done bar risers of some such that could offer some advice on brake lines.  From what I remember when I did the RaceTech to the forks, their pretty much at the end of their "play" now.
My ace brake supplier CycleBrakes can custom order some Galfer SS lines, I'm wondering if anyone has done the same an knows a length or a part number for the longer lines, along the lines of the "City Bars."

(I'd  just buy those from the dealer but they are NLA)

TIA  [thumbsup]

I have a Ventura bar that sweeps up and back , along with some Genmar risers. Brake and clutch line length wasn't an issue at all. I had to re-route the fast idle and throttle lines but it was a piece of cake. Don't know what else to say. Buy a bar and give it try.

I've got a couple on the way.  Ventura's "Daytona" and "European" bends.  I have FCRs and the cables are long anyway, so no worry there, but like I said, I remember the brake lines being pretty tight on my bike.  Of course it will be readily apparent once I get the bars.  Just hoping someone might have some FHE.
