longer brake lines and clutch cable for Street Twin

Hi all. Has anyone sourced longer brake line and cables for a Street Twin, to enable the fitting of higher handlebars? Would like to have a bit more flexibility in that area, and the ABS brake line set up makes that a little tricky.
thanks

Mototrio has a kit for it, but not full length brake line, Just a short adapter line with 2 banjo fittings bolted together.... it works, but looks bodgy to me.

I needed a longer hose for my Sprint ST, and HEL in the UK made up a set of appropriate lines with the top one being made +50mm. Just needed to specify it on the order, they emailed back to confirm, and Bob's your chiropodist. Excellent :smile2:

The brake hose, as discussed, is no big deal. A custom hose can be had for no more than an OEM hose from a different model.

The clutch cable is another story. The lever assembly is basically the same as earlier models in terms of cable fitment. The WC clutch cable now runs under the engine cover which seems like a longer path from earlier models. Here again, the actuator arm seems to have the same cable attachment as previous models.

So if you or someone is feeling adventurous, pop-off one end of your clutch cable and measure the length of -just- the black outer jacket. Report your findings here and I'll see if I have a longer cable lying around. I'll loan it just to verify fitment.
