    How much! cant you just find the bars you like and then buy the cables/hoses to fit ....if actually needed and fit yourself?

    Just a bit worried about break lines as ride with the wife and it is not something I have done before.

    £645 sounds rather extortionate for brake hoses and clutch cable, Goodridge hoses will cost you about £30 the cable should be around the same the bars perhaps £50-60 max and bleeding and fitting should take no more than an hour say £80-100 max.
