Several shops usually make longer brake lines...they will be like 90 - 110 bucks...usually 31 - 32 inches is plenty...

The clutch cable is going to be tight and i'm not sure with the r6 but 10 - 12 bucks can get you a longer cable 2 - 3 inches is usually plenty if needed..

I know all my hondas only needed brake lines everything else mounted up with a little ingenuity

And I'm gonna have to loose my custom bar ends too right?
??? So is there anyway I can keep my custom bar ends? I got some sick bar ends I'd rather not get rid of.

Re: db bars or clipons

I just started using flipped 636 clipons on an 04 -636 ,Its pretty sweet for rollin emout ,and they feel pretty comfortable with sit down circles . Honestly tho who really cares ? If your a rider and you want to ride , then make the best out of what you got ,,dirtbike bars ,clipons ,yada,yada whatever..

You can keep the signal switch but no more bar ends.

How does flipping them change your position while in the seat?

What bars and mounts did you go with? Pretty awesome that you didn't have to mod any cables.

I like the look of clip-ons but love the feel of DB bars.

Re: db bars or clipons

I keep switching from DB bars carmicheal low and clipons stock and I can't make up my mind. I love seat tricks with the DB bars but LF rear feels like I am hanging on for dear life off the back. Clipons are WAY better for tank tricks IMO but I REALLY like the look of DB bars. The only downside is chick during bike week think your a loser for sitting up straight LOL. They wanna see my tight man ***! hmmmmm what to do?
