So yesterday I replaced my handlebar with a drag bar, and the holes beneath the bar that are supposed to help the wires go through the master cilinder are further away from the center than in stock, causing two problems if align the controls with them:
1 Grips cant go in completely with alomst 1/4 not resting in the hanldebar. Is this a problem or bike can be ridden this way?
2 As the controls are farther away, throtle and idle cables are harder to place in the hand control. I managed to place the throtle cable properly with its ferrule in place, but the idle cable cant seem to go that far. I tried to move the adjustement nuts in the cable, but they are all rusty and dont move. Will lossing the adjusters help? What would you use? How to check if that bar is too wide. In its longest position the long adjuster nut should be all the way right or all the way left?
Thanks!
