New Bars BIG PROBLEMS

[Instructor50]

So I bought some drag bars (only 12.00) and changed them over.  I thought that since the bars were shorter in height there wouldn't be any issues.

Boy that's what I get for trying to sound intelligent!

The clutch is too tight and hitting the left platform (triple trees I guess) and the break line is hitting the same location just on the other side.  The throttle is tough to rotate and won't snap back into place.

I think the line has too many turns in it.  

There's just no room for anything up there.

So here's my plan.  I want to buy some Ape hangers for it and then buy cables to accomodate the new length.  If I take the measurement of the stock height of the Magna handlebars and then subtract that from the height of the ape-hangers that should give me the amount of extra cable I need for all of the set-ups wouldn't it?

If this logic is wrong let me know.  But I'd like to order the stuff pretty quick.

Thanks,

Sounds like you did the math but I could not imagine putting ape-hangers on a great handling bike like the Magna.  I guess it will be unique.

I don't think you are in the Dallas area but here are some ape hangers bars.  I don't know if they will work or if a good price but here are some on Dallas Graigs list.  http://dallas.craigslist.org/mcy/362557832.html

So just doing the math I got is the right idea?  I have been hearing that I need to get the bars in and then take some type of wire and lay it out like I am going to have everything set up and then measure the length of the wire.  

I just feel like it will work how I'm thinking but maybe not.
