True. But the stock +4" that I put on are just long enough to allow full fork extension. With your new set-up bringing them back closer to me will negate that..........won't it?

Well Doug, sometimes when you move the bars back you don't need them as tall in some applications and the 4"+ cables will be plenty long. I am currently running two sets of KB risers with a KB adaptor plus a setback riser
and the only cable I have extended was the choke cable. I am still using the stock throttle, and clutch line. I did the 2"+ brake lines when I went to the 4 pots on the front. Everything else was simply re-routed.

 :thumbs:  Didn't think about the possibility of not needing the risers...............Thanks Jim. (FWIW....I'm using the ZRX 6 pot calipers which if I'm not mistaken, hang a little lower than the 4 pot???).
I would like to reduce to amount of "Forward Lean" that I currently have with the stock set-up.

 I'm all ears Steve  ;D :chugbeer:

Sorry for the necropost, but did anything ever come of this? I haven't seen anything of it on SISF's site nor Murphs (who peddles SISF's knee-savers).

I just stumbled across this when looking for a tubular handlebar recommendation.

So, Steve in (I'm sure you're over just how Sunny it is right now) Sunny Florida, any update?

Much appreciated!

Bumpity-bump. This is a seriously cool project and I would love to know more as I'm in the middle of re-working my handlebars (and depending on the extent, the brake, clutch and throttle lines/cables as well).

uhhh, this hasn't worked out as I'da hoped - I had "issues" with the fellow who approached me for manufacturing. It all came to a head around april - may of this year, and I've been SWAMPED doing carbs, 7th gears, etc so no time to get back to the handlebars. I'm headed into the fall doldrums, which is usually the time I can work out new products because the carb work slacks off. I'll get back on it, and hopefully find a machine shop for production - a reliable one -  :o  Steve

No sweat Steve.  I'm sure this isn't the first time production is delayed because of a second party. Doesn't make it any better.  We'll wait. It will be worth it I'm sure.  :thumbs: :chugbeer:

Well that's a bit of a bummer. The pictures and descriptions seem promising. I'll keep my eye out for updates on this.

Steve, have you been in touch with Kevin Baker?  He makes a lot of items for the Concours, just a thought
