If so how much longer? I would like to go to higher bars maybe.   Gusm2 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 12:12 am:        Not sure exactly how much longer but it has to be routed around the far side of the headstock so higher bars could be a posibility as long as the other cables and wires areŽnt too tight   Buellistic Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 06:09 am:        When my clutch cable broke it was the cable end at the control lever ... My PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT to prevent this from happening again to my OEM CLUTCH CABLE replacement was to DRILL a SMALL HOLE over the CABLE END on the CONTROL LEVER so the CABLE END can be "LUBRICATED" !!! To date no more broken cables !!!   Dannybuell Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 10:35 am:        proper cable and lever lubrication is very important, I like tri-flow.   Jayvee Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 11:57 am:        I put Blast bars on my M2, and the stock length had to go up the near side of the steering stem, as I recall the original routing was around the far side. I've used the Barnett cable with teflon (or whatever) lining, it is smoother in action. The lube port over the cable end is an old dirt bike thing. Some just switched levers, upside down, so the cable ends are facing up, and lube (30 WT)can be slobbered in easily. The good old days...   Barrick09 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 12:18 pm:        Buellistic thats exactly where mine broke! Hope to be ordering a new one soon. Thanks for the recommendations on products as well as review and tips guys! Lucky for me the weather in pittsburgh is crap right now so cant ride if i wanted to.

Lubrication problem solved.
