You may have to do the investigation on this one yourself... I believe the 750 coversions here used motors with the same style clutch as the B6 (ie GSX750F Katana).

You might check around some of the shops and see if any of them can make cables. I haven't had to do this in many, many years, but I did have to do it for a throttle cable once that the manufacturer no longer supplied. One of my local m/c salvage outfits had the capability to fab up cables.

When I changed my 98 Bandit 12 over from a hyd. clutch to a cable clutch, I went to the Suzuki shop, and they ordered my cable. I don't remember the name of the company, but you could specify any length you wanted.
 It just came to me, it was "Barnett Clutches and Cables"
