If you look in the LINKS, you will find the stock lengths of the cables/hoses, the oem bar measurements and the measurements for various types of bars. From that you can determine the sizes.

Several riders have made the change indicating the stock controls/hoses can be used, but you have to route through the triple tree. That is a tight fit.  If you no longer have the stock risers installed, you will have to change out the hoses.

The best way is to be sure is to get your bars, do a mock up and run a string as you would route each hose, then measure the string and compare to the stock hoses.

I found that link totally confusing and it told me nothing about needing longer cable's going from stock bars to wide beachbar's.

Check out this section of the mods/tips area of the website... most of your answers will be in one of the articles.

Has anyone upgraded their bars to the Flanders Grande Beach bar. There is a picture of a 1500 Drifter on Flanders website with them. (Don't know if it's a member). I was curious about the cable length. All indicators point to +2" over stock and it looked like the Drifter on the Flanders site re-used stock controls. Any help would be appreciated. Also, any specs on the rear brake line length would be helpful. I'm looking to replace all my stock cables and lines.

Thanks,
