I did the replacement. It doesn't SEEM like there's an issue with the clutch cable.. that is, at full lock, I can't tell if it's any different than before, TBH.
I would have a video up here, but, damn, video issues are so annoying (Sony a6400 creates .MTS files that have to then be converted to m4v files that then lose their sound and such and soforth. Gonna ride now).

To the question of the clutch cable--it seems like there's no tension. Looks fine to me. Am I dreaming/fooling myself? Hmmm. Brothers, Bikes, & Bourbon Video about Hornig Risers

Just watched it ... and "Liked" it. Good angles and the A6400 does a good job. AAMOF I bought a Sony RX100 Mark VII because of the excellent autofocus and ease of use for my DIY videos and also because it is an advanced pocket camera it is great for travel and even normal vlogging. The installation looks great and looks like the clutch hose is not too taut. Looks like there may have been some interference with the GPS at a right lock, but from the angle you presented I could not be sure. Oh, and thanks for the plug, BTW.

Thank you. I wish I knew how to make videos because somebody else could have benefited from my problems (but not my problem solving, which is not a thing). So now the bars are installed, and you know not really that much better than the Ilium Works Risers. But because I rerouted the clutch cable I think I can install a set of R type Wunderlich Bar Risers. So we will see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you end up completing this conversion with the Wunderlich "kit"? Meaning, their bars/risers/adapters? I'm trying to compare the Wunderlich approach to those who just spec'd "R" Bars, but I'm not clear on what risers are used in that scenario? Anyway, would be very interested in hearing from anyone on any bar conversions you've done this season. Thanks in advance, as always!

No need for apologies. I've always been a fan of the Dave Moss videos (though to be honest, with some minor adjustments of stock levers and a sport seat, the RS fit me like a glove right out of the create - a major reason for my purchase). Here's a link to his trailer on handlebar adjustments to give everyone even more to think about. I assume that some of the old guys at the shop could walk a rider through all the options for optimizing one's fit to the bike (bars, hand and foot levers, pegs, suspension, windscreen...), but I'm unaware of anyone, who does bike fits for a living. (I know a lot of professional fitters for the pedal bikes, where the fit is critical to avoid injury; not clear why I don't see more advertising for the motorbike equivalent.)
