New Daytona Bars = Throttle Issues

Hello, Happy Friday!

Anyone have advice on how to route the throttle cables with Daytona bars?

Over the last couple of days I've installed Daytona bars (replacing the stock buckhorns), the R1 throttle mod, Sunline Grand Touring Grips, and Napoleon bar-end mirrors on my 77 GS750B. The new bars, grip, and mirrors look very nice and the R1 throttle make a huge difference.

The challenge I'm having now is with routing the throttle cables (push & pull). I get it all set up with the front wheel straight and the throttle will snap back very quickly. I turn the bars right and everything is ok, turn the bars left the throttle won't snap back.

I thought I had it all worked out earlier (left and right seemed ok) but then I put the tank back on and that moved the cables enough to impede the throttle.

Any suggestions on cable routing that have worked for you are greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,
 
My suggestion is order up some '79 1000S cables - both throttle and clutch. They are shorter and will fit better without having to play around with the routing so much.

How'd you manage the R1 sleeve into that metal killswitch housing??

Learned from reading threads here that in some cases the base of the sleeve (where the cables attach) is a little thick for the housing. That was the case for me. As suggested, I put a piece of 60 grit sand paper on a tabletop, used the sleeve's shaft as a handle, holding it as straight up as I could, and sanded a little off the thickness. Fit great after that. Now I think if I could get the cables sorted I'd be set.

Nessism's suggestion to order '79 1000S cables makes sense. I'll order some soon. In the meantime I'll probably keep playing with routing options and see if I can get something to hold me over until the new cables get here.
