    Can anyone recommend a good set of Full extended cables ?
    As i have wrist pain because of their position on my current bars,
    The first thing I'm going to do next month is to change my bars.
    My plan is to get those ones, and to ask Bill The Biker to set them for me, but I'll need extended cables, and BAAK asks for £170, and I find this a bit excessive. But I might be wrong.

    If the T120 has a 1" steel bar they should fit.

    I actually bought a similar item that was half the price as I need them to have 13mm I/D fitment. They are OK but are obviously built to a lower price point.

    If I had been able to find Oberon the right size I would have got them.

    You get what you pay for!

    Regarding the extended cable, so far I could not find much else than the BAAK, apparently, Triumph has stopped selling them (WTF...)

    I'll see about getting the bars and the cables either this month or the next one, and I'll ask a garage to fit them for me. I won't take any chances with control cables.

    Notes:
    These cost me £50, they arrived in 2 weeks from china.
    Super easy to instal, quality aluminium made, the blue tint is no problems.

    They don't fit inside the bars (below the grip). So their position will be outwards only.

    The left one is being annoying. The vertical axis is looser than needed, and moves-in with speed. But there's no bolt dedicated to that precise axis. i still have to figure out how to fix that. Turning it clockwise tightens it, but not enough. The right is tight and poses no issue.

    All in all pretty good value for the price, I reckon.

    I have these, as you say for the price, mine were under £40 ,I think , they are not bad, minefitted into the bar inserts using the original bolts and no spacers. There are 3 tightening points , the one you are probably after is the one inside, you have to take the mirror off the bar to get at it I think.

    I have to +1 Rudeboy’s post, I have a set and paid £55 posted, as you’d expect you will get the quality you’d expect etc although I did contact Triumph regarding the box stating “made in the United Kingdom” whilst the mirror shows “made in Japan” on the mirror arm, I wanted an explanation however was blown off with a very lame reply.
