My bro (who's not yet quite as old and decrepit as me) has acquired a K100 for use during winter and while his Tiger 800XC is off the road following a low speed off). He finds the riding position far from comfortable over any distance and has bought some S/H bars from a K100LT.
His question is will those bars fit straight on or will new cables etc be required?

Mike?

Yes. He will need to replace the control cables (throttle, clutch and fast idle) if going to RT/LT bars. Going from 'S' to 'C' is possible.

He may also need to change the brake master cylinder to first union hose too.

All the wiring should be okay though.

It's a damned sight easier doing it the other way around.

Thanks very much Mike.
Knew you would know.
(The Turd has benefitted from a new clutch cable and front discs)

Hows that running - had a blip on that when it resided on the A6 - lovely bike Richard.

Mike - following recent phone call (rubber bushes 1100LT handlebars) sorted this with Jabber and if i can still find what came out of the slots (home-made) stiffeners - i'll photograph and do a short piece on here.

Transformed the bike completely and no more terrible vibration issues and uncomfortable riding after only 40 or 50 miles.

Going fine thanks Phil.
Indeed thinking I might have a run out on it tomorrow before the roads are all covered in salt and I undo all Mike's good work!
