1982 suzuki gs650gl bar swap

[timebombprod]

Done a bar swap on my bike from the oem ones to some cb400f bars, great change lots more comfort and more focused riding.

Boom throttle cable issues! Yes no surprise here when the bars I got are MUCH smaller than the oem, and i ordered a cable and it is a great length and a great route from the carbs to the throttle tube; the killer is that the fitting for the throttle cable to the casing that holds the throttle tube is way off, what size is the threading for the cable piece that screws onto the tube casing? I dont want to try to mend it in place im sure that'd cause sticking issues with the cable.

Honestly if theres a cable that's the exact same as the gs650gl but 6 inches shorter that's exactly what i need.

650G cables will be shorter. Don't know how much

If they were exactly the same, they wouldn't be 6 inches shorter.

rphillips suggested the 650G cable, I think the 650E is the same.

The 650M cable might be a couple inches shorter yet.

You said the bars are from a CB400F. Is the cable as well? If so, what if you got a throttle tube from the same year CB400F as the cable and bars? Surely the end of the cable that fits into the tube would match.

Bars were remakes(CB400F REPLICA) , cables from the gs, it's not the cable it's the fitting you screw on to the throttle/killswitch assembly. Sorry dont know the right words.

I ordered a gs650 katana cable, hopefully itll fit correctly the bars look very similar to cb400f maybe a little taller.

Oof i wish i knew the correct terminology
