Rivco Risers and cable lengths........

[RoadVenture]

My RIII has the Rivco Risers put on by a previous owner. I'm not so sure I like them because the intruments are pushed out over the front of the gas tank up to the front edge of the gas cap. Well, they are on there and I don't have the stock risers so I guess I'm stuck with them. The DO raise the handlbars and bring them back to me a bit closer, which is good. But I wanted a little less stretch in my arms so I bought and am in the process of installing a set of CLASSIC handlebars. I want to go back to the OEM cable routing so I am going to get replacement clutch, throttle and brake lines.

This is what I have determined so far. Using the OEM cable/hose routing, Rivco Risers and the CLASSIC handlebars the cable lengths look like they need to be:

+3 1/2" for the clutch cable

+ 2 1/2" for the throttle cables

+ 2" for the upper portion of the brake hose

How does this seem to you? Has anyone else done this and have actual measurments for your replacement cables and hose?

Thanks!

I am having Rivco risers installed this Friday so that I do not have to reach so far.
If you needed the original risers we could work something out.
