I'm wondering if new, longer cables and brake hose are needed if I install some Rox risers on my Uly. Who makes the longer brake lines? Thanks.

Unbolt the handle bar clamp and lift em up to check. Someone here put a clamp on top of the stock risers, upside down. Then got another clamp and longer bolts to raise their bars. I would like to know about the brake line too. I just put XBS style bars on my XBR. I need a longer brake line and throttle cables.

Use the cables and brake lines from an XBS and you're good to go.
Sorry I haven't any help for Upswept

The stock cables have enough slack for a rox riser. Not sure why you would though, the bar position is terrible and too far upright!

There are many different sizes of Rox Risers. What height are you looking to put on ?

I have the 2" Rox Risers. Didn't need to do anything other than move the cables around some. Will grab some pics in the morning for you.

And a hearty =P to froggy. If I hadn't been able to sit more upright, I doubt I would have been able to finish my IronButt.

you would have to change the cables to do the ULY bars.... the Blast bars, which will also bring you a more upright sit, will bolt right on without longer cables, you just need to rework the routing and clamping.

It is what is on my CityX. and it does indeed handle any dirt that a ULY could want to do, in that riding position and attack angle.
