    I'm wanting to get some new bars, found these mikesXS bars
    Part #25-0122 Daytona Tour Type Bar

    The question is, will they bolt right on without modification?

    Yes; however you will need to re-route your cables and possibly change the angle of the brake hose at the M/C. I think on the bigger bikes you can "route out" the extra clutch cable length.

    On my 550 Secas with the "Euro" bend, I had to go to a shorter clutch cable, everything else "tucked" ok. I also went to a shorter upper brake hose, primarily for appearance.

    It should be a straight swap. I put Daytona's onto my 550 Seca and with a little re-routing and adjusting, everything worked out great. Upper brake hose could be shorter but works fine and I moved the throw arm on my clutch back a notch and all was great
