need aftermarket throttle and clutch cables
does anyone know of a company that will (for a decent price) make clutch and throttle cables. im going to installing clip on bars on my project and will need the cables to be much shorter. also is there a way to shorten them my self. im thinking i might get newer handle bar levers and master cylinder off a sport bike, so i might, if i can use the cables that go with those.

If custom cables are too expensive, use the old cables to figure out what length you need, then order something from Z1 that comes close to it.does anyone know of a company that will (for a decent price) make clutch and throttle cables. im going to installing clip on bars on my project and will need the cables to be much shorter. also is there a way to shorten them my self. im thinking i might get newer handle bar levers and master cylinder off a sport bike, so i might, if i can use the cables that go with those.

you can buy cable kits on ebay, or you could find another suzuki which uses shorter cables as standard and fit those. you may get away with just re routing yours if they are not massively too long1978 GS1085.

I had a similar problem with my fabbed handlebars. On a tip I received here, on GSR, I used the clutch cable from a GS1000S (flat). Solved my issue, that model came with an old skool superbike style bar and was a good little bit shorter than the highway (neutral) bars fit to most models.Comment

thanks, ill look into that. the bars on this bike are like mini ape hangers. i think if i rerouted them they would loop up about a foot over the head light.I had a similar problem with my fabbed handlebars.
