Bike Model = : 2005 GV250
First ever time on a forum but I can’t get any info anywhere else. I recently was given a set of 33cm/13in tall bar and am looking to put it on my GV250 I already measured and they will fit diameter wise I’m just looking to see if theirs a way I can make my stock front brake-line work (I understand a 25cm/10in tall bar is about the most you can do on stock lines) but was hoping to find a way to use them or where I could find one that I could use or have custom made. Thanks in advance

You will likely need longer lines , the higher the bars go up to be fair. I ran in to this with my previous donor GVs , had to manually measure the stock line + extra distance needed , then order specific length brake cable for it.
Bigger issues may also lie with electrics as i know the switch gears are generally short and stop at the front of the fuel tank, so you will need 6 pin or 9 pin female and male connectors , then get some wires in different colours
Make an extension that joins “original switch gear” === extension here === bike harness , this is better than splicing and cutting up the original parts incase you change your mind and revert back to the stock OEM setup
