    78 GS750 project in 🇨🇦

    Working on a 78' gs750, building a cafe racer... making some progress, but wonder if anyone knows a source for new throttle cables and clutch cable that are a bit shorter than original. I've got a set of clip-on handlebars and the stock cables are a bit too long now.

    MotionPro has a custom cable service but with shipping i would imagine it is pricey.
    I would check into getting oem cables for a '79/'80 GS1000S. I am guessing they are 4" shorter.

        I think the front tire is mounted the wrong way round - check the directional arrow for a front mount.

          Motion sell a kit to make your cable,
          You can buy only the end you need too.
          This is the kit I have,
