Shorter cables for 82 GS1100GK

[Guest]

Switching the bars on the 82 GS1100GK to some clip-ons and need some shorter cables. I'm assuming I can use the cables from the GS1000s since they both run the CV carbs and the motors are almost identical; Does this sound right?

Need to replace the

Clutch
Throttle
Choke

Choke is the one I'm worried about the most since the current stock configuration has it going to the left side bar control where a lever is mounted on the bottle of the switch housing. I'm trying to locate a stock 80 choke assemble to relocat the chocke cable up and through the steering stem.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Bump, anyone?

saw a post a whle back from someone using super bike bars. Used a throttle cable for a 550. Had the correct "ends", just a bit shorter in length. You may need shorter still tho with clip-ons.

Could also check out Motion Pro - they will make custom cables for you.

If you want to go Motion Pro I would call Z1 Enterprises and speak to them. I am pretty sure they would have already encountered this and can get you the correct length cable.

Check YouTube to find vids showing you how to shorten your cables yourself. Here's one to get you started. It's pretty easy to do.

Throttle cable from a 450E or 450S would work. Don't know about that clutch cable, but you could probably shorten it yourself (at the engine end), using a aftermarket or hardware store clamps or cable end fittings.
