CB750four KO - throttle cable
« on: February 09, 2015, 07:19:30 AM »
Actually, I have a high ("US type") handlebar on my KO.
Genuine Ko carbs installed.

Want to replace it by a low "Magura M bar" (= cafe racer bar).

I assume, the throttle cable then will be too long (cable from throttle to 1-4 manifold).

Is there a short version?
Doc, I love a motorcycle!

Do you have a link to the bars? Not sure how low they are. But the following info might help from this thread... Scroll down to Dream750 reply...

The 750 K1/K2 factory euro bars are the real deal, PN: 53100-300-610 and they have been discontinued. I have used those repop DSS bars PN: 53100-300-610P in the past and found them to be identical to my original 750 K1/K2 euro bars. If it’s important to you, they have the correct dimensions, knurls, switch pin holes and wiring cutouts that the cheap copies are usually missing. These are their dimensions:

Width: 29.50” or 748 mm
Center: 4.90” or 125 mm
Rise: 2.99” or 76 mm
Pullback: 3.81” or 97 mm

If you are fussy about a factory correct fit and look, these are the 750 K1/K2 euro bar part numbers that Honda used as they are shorter than their USA K1/K2 counterparts using stock bars:

-Clutch cable (22870-341-610) superseded to: 22870-426-610
-Throttle cable “A” 17910-341-611
-Throttle cable “B” 17920-341-611 
-Brake hose “B” (45126-300-611) superseded to: 45126-300-612

 * These part numbers are not found in the American Honda parts system, I purchased mine from DSS (UK)

* The upper brake hose “B” is longer available and will have to be located or made, the total length needed is 12-1/2”
