    Throttle and clutch cables?

    Building a '78 gs750 cafe racer and looking for a source for shorter clutch and throttle cables. The new clip on handlebars are a bit shorter than original.

    Thx. Bill

        Motion pro is probably fine, however, I'm also looking for shorter cables and my local speed shop suggested that I call Barnett (USA). They apparently make shorter cables. It appears that they require one to call them: "TO ORDER CUSTOM LENGTH OR "ONE OFF" CABLES, PLEASE CONTACT US AT 805-642-9435 AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST YOU".

            If you are confident in soldering new cable ends on you can cut your existing cables to any length you want.
            Current:
            Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha )

            Past:
            VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
            And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....

              Motion sell a kit to make your cable,
              You can buy only the end you need too.
              This is the kit I have,
