Swapping the bars on my V7 Stone

The upright riding position of my Moto Guzzi V7 was very comfortable, but I want to be able to use it on trackdays more so fitting clip on handlebars made some sense to me.

These are an OEM part from Moto Guzzi as they fitted them to the earlier V7 Racers, so swapping them out was not difficult.
The kit came with shorter throttle and clutch cables as well as a shorter brake line too. When I swapped those, I took the opportunity to change the brake pads as well.
The only real issues I had were fitting the new clutch cable, which has not had 7 years to stretch so is very tight, I hope there is enough play on it to stop any slippage. I also made a bit of a mess detaching the old brake line, with hindsight I should have removed the caliper from the bike so as to not get the fluid on the bikes tyre. I do have some new tyres to fit, so not the end of the world in this instance.
