Title: Shorter control cables
Post by: magicGoose on January 12, 2006, 09:10:01 AM: I have a set of bars on my bike that puts the controls at a position similar to the Suburban Machinery bars. The riding position is way better than stock, but I have not been able to route the clutch, throttle and choke cables in a way I am happy with. I need cables a few inches shorter. Has anyone been down this road and found good replacements ? ( Ideally with a Suzuki part no.) I'm thinking maybe GSXR400 or Jap-spec bandit with the clip-ons.
If I can't find something suitable I will try to find someone who carries Motion Pro stuff and order all the bits to make them myself.
:thanks:
Regards,
Steve

Maybe I'm getting used to it but someone should talk to babblefish for your asses...Ha!

I take the time to answer not to check my grahmer! Im sure going to collage is gonna help a bit ,but I'm sure it will not change to much! As a Pharmacist I might have spell just a bit better! As a motorcycle mechanic it just wasnt that important! Cheers all you grahmer fookers! :monkeymoon:

Hey Mr. Death! Good advice. :bigok:
I have actually already shortened a set of cables, but I was hoping to find some OEM cables to put on the bike and keep my efforts to carry as spares. I may check out Terry Cable as Jay suggested and see what they have to say.
Thanks guys,
Steve

It's sledding time now. dailing in a new set of pipes and clutching changes.
