Switch Questions

Are the wires long enough on the original LH switch cluster (06-5930) to work on the Hi Rider bars?

Many years ago, I was friendly with a guy who dealt norton parts and was a great perveyor of all sorts of norton mythology... At one point in his rantings, he convinced me to try a pair of taller, pulled back handlebars in place of my existing, stubby, low, (almost flat actually) bars. As I recall, the electrical wires were barely long enough to work with the taller bars, but the clutch cable was NOT long enough to reach the high bars... so I had to buy a clutch cable. I think I rode the bike with the tall bars for about a week and switched back to the stubby bars. I just perferred the body position that the low bars gave me. (I still have those bars, I should sell them...)

Thankfully, I stopped listening to that guy because he was always trying to get me to buy and install one of the two drouin superchargers he had in his parts bin... I was smart enough at the time to just want to make my bike a very ridable norton, not the ongoing NASA science project it would have had, if I kept listening to his baloney.

Put it this way, none of the parts books lists alternative switch clusters for the Hi-Rider, so one must assume that the Hi-Rider switch clusters had the same length wiring as the other models.
