I just orderd a houser +2 stem with some tag t2 450r bend 1 1/8 bars for my 400ex. I also orderd +2 stainless brakelines. I was wondering what to do with the throttle and clutch cables. Where do you get plus size ones if i need them? I also heard 300ex cables are a lil bit longer and you can use them also. any info would be great thanks!

don't get the 300ex cable, it requires some modding. i think it's like a 250x or something, search it. And i didn't need any longer cables for my +1 stem.

streamline makes throttle and clutch cables that come 2 inches longer then stock and they are braided

300ex cable did not require any modding on my quad.

brake lines are easy to find in extended lengths.

All the stock cables, wires and brake lines will fit.

I have the same TAG bar kit and I added 2 1/2" to the stock stem and eveything fit.

hmm, idk but i have a motion pro 300ex clutch cable on mine. no mods whatsoever were done to make it fit.

PN mp02-108 is what i used.

you need to flip the bracket and only use one bolt. ugly, but it'll work until i get a 250x cable.

I put the stem and most of the parts on yesterday(raining all day) and man i cant wait to ride this thing. The +2 is at the perfect height for me(im almost 6 2) Just waiting for my plus size cables to arrive in the mail to finish up.

I'm wanting to do this to mine...i'm 6'4 and ride standing up a lot...my 250r has a +1 stem with 7/8" clamp and 1 1/8" adapters on top of those..that puts the bars just about perfect to where i want it.....i was thinking about just going with a 3" rox riser instead of a new stem.
