    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Going from 12" bars to stock

Will I need to replace all the lines and cables? Bike currently has 12" but I have handlebars that are supposed to be factory, can the lines be rerouted to work or am I looking at more work here

Don't know, can't see it from here. Does it have some aftermarket cables?

Let us know how it works out.
 
There were many "stock" bars that came from the factory, depending on the bike model.

For example, the "L" version of your bike had higher bars than the "G" version. Your sig says you have a "G" bike, but I don't think we have seen any pictures, and some "new" guys don't know the difference.

If you have some stock "L" bars, you might not need to change the cables, but will probably have to re-route them a bit. However, if you have some standard "G" bars (or lower) you will definitely need new cables. Get cables for the "G" model, they will be short enough.

.
 
Well, now it does not say G, GL, or L. Hard to tell.
If the "stock" bars have more rise than the ones you currently have on there, you may need longer bars.
If the "stock" bars have less rise or pullback than the ones currently on the bike, you may get away with rerouting the current cables.
 
Sorry guys. It's a gl according to the title. The only picture I have of the bike is the one the guy texted to me before I bought it. I'll get one up

I can tell a couple of things:
1) The PO was a complete idiot.
2) He left the stock cables on there.
Most people do not care for the stock longhorn bars and go to a Daytona bend. Far more comfortable, they tell me. If you did that you would need shorter cables.
