    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...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

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.
 
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 long
 
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.

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.

sorry about that, somehow I convinced myself you where going to shorter bars
 
Try to stay with OEM clutch cables, they are beefer then aftermarkets. Hopefully you can fine a factory one that will suit your needs.
