Well the bars are on. I'm pretty sure I don't ever want to solder another wire again! I ran the brake and clutch lines behind the triple tree without even disconecting the lines. I didn't expect the resevoirs to sneak through, but they fit easily. I'm pretty sure that they WILL NOT be long enough. I got stuck while reinstalling the throtle. It's binding and won't return. I think it's the cables and prob just an adjustment. I'll hit it again tomorrow.

All the controls are reconnected and the brake, clutch, and trottle lines DID fit! Barely but they work. Throttle is sticking a bit still. I'm just going to use that as an excuse to buy braided ones! I have to say that these bars are awesome!
The search begins for the cheapest braided lines. I'll let you know what I find. Thank's for the support everyone.

When you say they fit, did you have to re-route them at all?

I have done the same thing only my brake lever and resevoir would not fit between the fork and the neck so I had to disconnect the line at the resevoir, and run it behind the triple tree.
In any event, I don't think I'll have to replace any of the cables/hoses. I've got the bars all together and they lok pretty good. Now if I could just get the fairing delivered so I can get the graphics going. 7 to 10 day delivery from the website is actually 10 to 15 after I called them . . .

I posted a few pics in my album but I'm not sure how to post them in here. I ended up ordering the "+4 front brake line kit "from PhatPreformance on-line. $129.99. I asked around and was told that you can't just replace the top line because the junction is a one piece unit. I'm not sure if thats true and I wanted the braided ones anyway. When they arrive in 2-3 weeks, and I start putting them on, I'll let you guys know.

That looks like it should come apart with no problems.
