    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

aftermarket clutch/throttle cables

Replaced the stock handlebars on my 1980 suzuki gs 750 with cafe clubman bars, wondering if it's worth replacing the throttle/clutch cables? Currently, everything works, but there is a lot of excess cable near the grips.

The next question would be how do I measure or adjust for ordering new clutch/throttle cables to fit the cafe bars?

I'm sure there is a link on this website of a similar nature, but I can't find it.

Thanks,

Ross
 
Try some forum searches, this topic has come up quite a bit.

OEM cables are very good and not much more (if at all more) expensive than aftermarket cables. An GS550MZ throttle cable is a popular replacement choice for shorter bars, and what I have on my 550L with Daytona bars. I don't think the 550M clutch cable will work on your model, but the suggestion of a GS1000S clutch cable perhaps has been raised? Don't rely on my memory though - I'm on the other side of 40 now and it shows.
