I really like everything about my fz6r except for the discomfort reaching for the handlebars. When I initially bought the bike, I had to almost immediately install the 35mm bikemaster handlebar risers which worked with stock cables. With this minor mod in place, I patiently experimented with all sorts of riding positions, but the distant handle bar was causing me to either hold arms straight, push the crotch up against the tank or thrust my lower back forward - all of which cause pain in respective areas.
To address my discomfort, I want to move the handlebar further back but that would need extended brake, throttle & clutch cables. I was thinking of adding the rox pivoting 3"+ risers to my existing risers to bring the handle bar rearward so that I can be in an upright sitting position in city speeds, and I can always sit farther back if i need to get down into a sport riding position in highway speeds.
Now the question is how and where do I order the custom length cables from? Google search yielded sites like motionpro, spiegler performance, etc, who make the cables based on specified length. But how do I go about figuring out the lengths of these cables? Should I buy the risers first and somehow figure out the lengths?
