2007 FJR ,just installed MCL's triple tree bar risers ,Really nice ,didn't have any trouble drilling out security bolts on ignition ,BUT throttle cables are really tight. Is there a special tool needed to remove throttle cables from hand controls ?? I saw someone who re-routed their throttle cables for more slack. Is this hard or can I do it myself??

Just remove the two Philips screws holding the housing onto the bar.
Darksider #18Are you the reason I'm so far above average?
I'm always right, yet it continues to surprise people! How can that be?

I have an MCL riser and it didn't create any issues with the cables; they move pretty free lock to lock. I'd double check to make sure you don't have something hanging them up.

Check your routing. Did you cut the cage wire that holds them in place for slack? No issues on my 10.

Ummmm, He didn't reroute the cables guys.. I suspect the raising of the bars is causing binding now as it did when I installed the 1 inch risers.
Just cut that wire cable clamp..

I had to reroute my cables behind the brake lines. It added a lot of slack.
