[ST] Gen-Mar Issues

["Manuel Gonzalez" <mito_lawman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mr. Baker,

I have put on and taken off Gen-Mars twice on my 2001 ST.  Never had a 
problem with either the throttle cable or the brake line.  Just to make 
myself feel better, when I took the bike in for service I asked the Triumph 
mechanic to loosen the bolt holding the brake line to the master cylinder 
and angle it down a little more, but that was purely cosmetic as I had 
already ridden the bike 5000 miles after putting the risers on.

I can tell you that not every ST has the cable routed the same way.  I know 
that Tom Emberson had an identical 2001 ST and we routinely found things 
done just a little different on each bike.  I also know that when I had my 
throttle cable replaced under warranty, the new cable was routed differently 
by the mechanic than it had originally been from the factory.  Which way was 
right I don't really know.  Both worked fine.

Good Luck,

Manuel Gonzalez
