I installed the Pro Taper EVO high bars and extended lines last night on my
2013. These bars fixed my neck and back issues and fit me perfect (6.5"). The black is much better looking than the stock silver.
The install:
I tried the bars without the extended lines moving the stock ones around and bended the guides and they were still way too tight. I installed the Jaxon lines. Jaxon (aka. ~TABASCO~) got them to me in a couple of days. I still have some work to clean up the routing and secure the hard line junctions. - All good.
I filed off the position buttons on the controls, tightened them up and they don't move. I wanted the freedom to change the angles.
On my 2013 the right control electrical supply wires were tight at lock, the routing was incorrect. Even after I corrected the routing, I felt they were still too tight. I moved the control inboard ~15mm from the throttle to correct, I still can comfortably reach the kill switch with my thumb. Happy I removed the button and didn't drill. Dry fit everything and test if you're going to drill. As Steve said, "I needed every last bit, including the bar end weights." - All good.
Since I had the bars apart, I decided to add Oxford heated grips. Nice add and clean install, very happy. Michigan spring huh, snowed yesterday. - All good.
Notes for 2013 owners - I did have issues with my handguards, weights, and Kakao cruise control. They were secured at bar end with M8 bolts so threading the end of the new bar was not an option unlesss I wanted to buy all new. I ended up buying
Tusk D-Flex Bar-End Clamp Handlebar Inserts and
uxcell M8x150mm Thread 304 Stainless Steel Hex Socket Head Cap Screw Bolt DIN912 to make it all work. A shorter M8 (<150mm) would have worked, I was getting impatient trying to find long enough bolts to fit and went overboard. In the end (ptp) everything is secure - All good.
Brake reservoir question??? - On a stock 2013 with everything in proper position, is the brake reservoir perfectly horizontal / level? Mine is not and can't remeber if it was on the stock bars.
