    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

GS750T shorter clutch cable

Forum Apprentice
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.
 
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.

The shortest clutch cable of the stock bikes is the one for the GS1000S model if yours is not the pushrod type....
