trapezeartist Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 i've just shortened my handlebars, which has left the clutch and front brake hoses a bit too long. Assuming I get on with the shorter bars, can anyone recommend someone who can make up some shorter hoses? (Or if I don't like them, I'll be looking for new handlebars. 🙄) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021  You going road racing?  You could only removed so much, or is it on another bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapezeartist Posted October 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 14mm off each end. Not a lot really, and people think it's perfectly normal to adjust the handlebar height and reach, so why not width? Hopefully I'll test it tomorrow so then I can report back.

lineaway Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 I did mine Sunday. 14mm off the left and about 25mm off the right. I have an aluminum throttle tube that sits about 10mm wider due to the bearing.  I also removed the magnet and put a real teather kill switch under my bar pad. The tether will attach to my fanny pack, so no more killing the engine waving at friends.😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapezeartist Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 A couple of hours riding today and I like the shorter bars. The difference is not hugely noticeable: I just felt a bit more comfortable with the riding position. So anyone with any suggestions for getting hoses made up?

pschrauber Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Venhill in UK did customized hoses to my Beta TR34 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Wez Moto, Wez is a nice guy and the hoses are really nicely made ... and he was cheaper than Venhill for what I wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always good to give my business to Westcountry companies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
