    So, I mounted a set of Clubman bars upside down/inverted (basically dragbars with a little downward point and angle towards the rider) instead of the bullhorn ones on my XJ650. Couple of questions

    Master Cylinder needs to be changed I've heard to a "Flat Orientated" one. Does anyone know one in particular that would work? Does the brakeline have to be changed along with this?

    Right now, I have all the cables on there and they feel alright (Clutch, Throttle, Choke). Do I have to change these out? I found a decent way to route them and the wires don't bother me much. Moreso concerned if there's a safety issue here I'm just waiting for to happen.

    Thanks.

    as long as cables are not binding that should not be a problem. turn handle bars full left to right try them at all points for proper function.
