I am looking for a shorter clutch cable as I got new bars. The current one is 52 inches. New one needs to be around 48-46 inches and fit to a 16v TSCC engine. Is there a specific model that has a short enough cable or can Motion Pro make them to specific lengths? Is it possible to trim the handlebar side of the cable and put on a new fitting?

Were the OEM bars on the T a fairly high set?
If so, the Euro version was likely supplied with a lower set and a shorter clutch cable, just like the 850s were.
I'd hesitate to recommend a particular cable, as I don't know if it would even fit your engine, when routing and bottom clevis end / adjuster are taken into account.Dave

Yeah they were pretty high. It routes through along the frame, through the carb boots on cylinder 1 and 2, and then ends on the right side of the engine.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You might be able to use the Same clutch cable, with just a little more hoop toward the front of the bike. Same issue with the choke cable, throttle cable and hydraulic brake line. My red line probably a bit exaggerated.

Just an update for future reference:
Motion Pro 45 1/4 in. Clutch Cable - 04-0151
This is the one I actually went with. I'm using super sport bars.
Parts Unlimited 43 3/4 in. Clutch Cable - K280027
This one was too short but may be useful to someone running even lower bars/clip-ons.
