    Custom throttle cable setup, need suggestions

    So, Im working on a 1980 GS1000e. Im going to be running different bar controls than stock, and need some help to figure out a way to adapt some throttle cables to the new controls. I have two setups I'm going forward with.

    One utilizes a reproduction Z1 right side control:


    The other utilizes a Purpose Built Moto 3 button micro switch, and a SV650 throttle housing:



    My question is this:
    The carb end of the throttle cables will be factory GS, but what do I do about the bar side of things? How do I get cables made that will work with the non GS equipment on the bars? Need a push/pull for the KZ setup, and a push/pull for the SV setup.
    Thanks in advance. Cant wait to share the build thread of what Im working on. Only a few weeks away now.

    On the older GS1000 that use a push/pull you can run one cable only (if you're confident in your return spring) so I shouldn't think it would be a big deal to do the same here...

        I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.
