Do you have to re-route the front brake line or do the risers go straight on.
Going to buy and fit some tommorrow, but flying blind on how they install :???:

Mate,
they are very easly fitted with a little amount of fuss. I found that in the end I had to lengthen my clutch cable by 32 mm. Anyway good luck and you will find a vast improvement in the ride position and comfort.

You may need to re-route the front brake line. The stock clutch cable should work but you will need to move it a bit.

I too had to reroute the front brake line and the clutch cable. It looks a little goofy, but I had to reroute the clutch cable behind the triple trees. That was the ONLY WAY it was going to work on my 06 Sprint ST. In talking with a local dealer he said there is some variability from bike to bike.

I put Gen-Mars on mine. Very easy to install, but I had to re-rout my brake line. The clutch fit fine. I think the risers are mandatory, it's the first thing I put on my ST.

I guess Triumph got the message, new '07's have higher and slightly pulled back bars.

I had a post on here before the servers went down concerning the '07 Triumph risers for '05 and '06 models. I checked with my local dealer in Indianapolis and he quoted me a price of $199.00 for the kit and said it would come with everything needed to install, including cables. He used my vin number as there were 2 different kits.
He said the warehouse in Georgia did not show any in stock so it may take some time to get. I will let everyone know when I have them installed.

Got to be careful the front brake line dose not pull tight and stress the crimped end when lifting the bike onto the centre stand as the front forks become fully extended. When I fitted my set of lifters this gave me concern and I had a goodridge made up, that was 25mm longer than standard, as a safe gaurd. Did not fancy sqeezing the brake one day and popping the pipe out of the crimped union.
