I ordered a new front brake cable for my 71 roadster from Venhill. Cable is beautifully made, with the front switch which I wanted. Problem is it's for bikes with the UK low bars, not US roadster bars. I can return it, or look at it as the final nudge to get me to install the very nice Interstate tank and seat I have stashed away. My question is, how many versions of the Interstate bars are there and what might the rise width and pullback be on them? I don't really care if what I put on is original but I do want a proper fit.
Thanks

My bike is a U.S. import and had the high bars on it originally . I swapped them for Eliminator Daytona bars. They are not quite as low as U.K. bars but are a good compromise and feel good. The standard cables and brake line fitted well.

Yeah, you never know what you'll get from them. I had the clutch cable from them for my US bars, fit great (after the first try with the wrong ferrule) , it showed some fray, I got a replacement from them, it's 4" longer.... :?:

Actually '72 roadster and Interstate were supplied with the same bars here in the US which are referred to as western bars. Original bars in '71 are also the same as these.
