After a 200 mile dirt ride yesterday I decided I need to reposition my bars. My wrists were sore last night. I have had a pair of Rox Risers for eons so I decided to put them on the TR. Not as easy as it sounds.
First problem was the front brake line. It was too short and needed to be rerouted but on inspection it is attached at the back of the headlight cowling on the right side with one screw. I removed the screw and bracket that held the line and that problem was resolved.
Next the switch housing wiring on the clutch side was preventing the bars from moving back. So, off came just about everything inside the light housing and then I had to snip several zip ties and unfold about 5" of excess wire that came from the switch. Problem solved.
Additionally as you might suspect the clutch cable was not allowing me to pull the bars back. I simply rerouted it to the left side of the bike. I placed it under the radiator and up along the frame and left fork tube and then back to the clutch perch. That did it. Lots of room to move the bars up and back.
Nothing else prevented the move. Throttle cable and everything else was plently long enough.
Now I can stand without having to stoop over and I can sit without having to reach so far forward. Now I can sit in the old man position.....you know...the "sit up and beg position".
I also tweaked my Laminar windscreen again by heating it with my heat gun and bending it further forward and curling the very top more. It is great now, almost dead air in the cockpit with no air hitting the top of my helmet at 60mph. Most importantly, no buffeting.
