Shorter Cables?

[GSmadness]

Hello everyone, i just put clubmans on my gs and i was just wondering where others have gotten shorter clutch, throttle, and choke cables from. Also what lenghts did you buy? Did everyone just go to braided brake lines? I would think that if it needs to get replaced, may as well just upgrade.

Try to find a GS that had low bars from the factory. You might try an 83 or 84 GS650M. I used a clutch and throttle cable from a 80 GS1000S on my 80 GS850G with superbike bars. Also the L had the tall bars so maybe the cables from a 650g would help. Hope this helps.

I just bought an S model clutch cable to try but I've found I could route the stock cables around enough to take up the extra slack. Done 3.5k miles like that so far.....

Alright well i was just wondering, because there should be some company out there that you could get cables at whatever lenght you want. I am just having troble finding one. Any more options?

Reroute the stock cables or buy shorter from 550M or 650M. Seems to me that this issue is covered. What other kind of options are you looking for?

Good luck.

Okay, here's one in the same vein. Do any of you know what the stock length is for the 1983 GS650GL Clutch Cable? The bike in question can not be taken off the road unless the replacement is ready to be installed, and we're not sure which to order from Dennis-Kirk.

In other words, I can't take the old one off to measure it before ordering a new one. The old is fraying at the lever...:arrow:
