I have recently installed a RoxSpeed 2" Handlebar riser on my 2000 400EX. My problem is that my clutch cable is being pushed (or should I say stretched) to it's limits due to the 2" rise. I've tried re-routing the cable behind the handlebars instead of in front of the handlebars and that has bought me a little length. My brake lines were also close, but I had already planned to upgrade my brake lines to steel braided lines, so I just ordered them +2 in size to allow for the extra length. It looks like the clutch cable might be ok with this current configuration, but I can't help wondering what others are doing whenever they decide to extend their steering stems or intall these types of risers. I race cross country and 2 hours is a big window of opportunity for a mechanical problem. Therefore, any input my fellow racers and ATV enthusiasts can provide concerning this issue will be welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. Contacted Motion Pro and they made me a custom clutch cable 2" longer than stock. I appreciate your help.
