    I want to switch out my handle bars on my 82 xj650 maxim to something a little lower and a little more cafe like? To do this that means I need to get new cables and wires right ?

    I put a drag bar on my 82 seca xj750 and the cables worked just fine. I did have to put different risers on the bar to keep the bar from hitting the gas tank though.
