07 SG + 10" PYO=extended cable/brake line???
For you owners of older SGs. I have the new 10" PYO MMBs wired, hooked up and installed on the bike. Both the clutch cable and the brake line are literally 1" short. It looks like if I reroute the clutch cable outside the crash bar and then through the fairing hole it might work. Or am I fooling myself?
The brake line is also a hair short...is there some trick I am missing or do I have to buy a longer line and go through the hassle of installing it?
Thanks!!

I have the 10" PYO bagger apes, so I'm not real sure if there is a lot of difference. I had to re route the clutch cable to not go through the fairing, way to tight other wise. On the brake line, I took the factory bends out of the line and unbolted the junction under the trees and moved it about 2" by fabbing a bracket extension out of some scrap aluminum I had laying around. It would have been very tight, but would have worked, I just did not want it pulled that tight.

not that hard to change those cables. i just did 12's pyo mbb and the hardest for me to do was throttle and idle cables because I pulled the tank. Brake is not hard just takes time to bleed it. clutch cable just takes a little patient. I went +8 all around with the 12's on my 07. All fit perfect. Hope this helps

Thanks for the help. I just finished hooking everything back up with the stock cables and brake line. The Throttle cables weren't even an issue. Seems to me a person could got 12" without issue there. I rerouted the clutch out of the fairing and there is plenty slack now...Luckily my wife doesn't smoke since it does run up against the lighter, but when you sit on the bike the line does not look out of place. I finally decide to yank the heck out of the brake line and got every thing on the right side to work properly. There is a tension on that line now that wasn't there before, so I may have to go +2 later. Right now I just wanted to get it up and running again. I love my PYO on my RG, but they look even better on a SG. The wife love's em!
