Just buy shorter cables... Not sure what bike you have but for example if you have a 1000E buy the 1000S cables etc. Same works for the clutch.

Flanders are great for all things cable;

I needed a set shortened because of a different carb setup and the turnaround time was great (as was the price and service).

How much did you pay? The stock Suzuki cables are about $20 each.

$7 or $8 a cable. This was for a set of Keihin FCR's with a generic quick ratio throttle. The inner cables needed shortened by 3/4 of an inch (outers remained the same though Flanders can do that too).
Stock cables were not going to work.

this is easy. cut it about an inch longer then you need it. then they sell a bolt at bike shops (mountain and road bikes) its got a hole in it and 2 washers and a nut. put the cable through the hole with a washer on each side and tighten it down. whala.
use a torch and solder to attach the peg end to the cable. file it smooth when cool so it will fit in the twist grip recess.

Here is a pic of the kit I have for making cables. It's easy and works great.
This is a versatile kit for many kinds of cables.
Since I bought this kit, i have never had a problem finding cables that fit.
You get your money's worth, thats for sure. No more hassles with cables.
