asharin Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 On the Virago 125 I have, it currently has ape style bars...which, even if they were not bent slightly, I don't really like.Can I just swap these for straight bars or will I need to shorten cables etc? Can you tell I am not that great on mechanical stuff? lol that being said I did manage to fix the idle stalling issue Quote
Martyc Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Couldn't you just adjust the cables to take up the slack if they're too long? Or am I being silly? Quote
Bertie Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 shouldnt affect the cables at all, they will just bend more and be generally more in the way(depending on how big the bars were and what you are putting on, be careful not to bend the clutch cable too much, causing resistance on the cable) Quote
asharin Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 Bars won't be much different, just more straight less half ape Quote
