Shorter clutch cable...
« on: September 02, 2020, 07:42:31 PM »
So I have Euro style bars on my K1 750 but never got a shorter clutch cable, so it 'loops' out from the frame down tube. Who bought one for 'flat' bars and where ? Thanks.

Get a UK model one from Dave Silver

I think Four into One company makes a 3" shorter cable set, I use them all the time with the shorter handlebars, they work great! Check Ebay for shorter cables

All cables I have bought in Europe are OK with low Eurobar and dragbar.
My K6 has one from UK, Wemoto.com  (slinky glide).

I have extra from Germany, same lenght. https://m.louis.eu/rund-ums-motorrad/bike-datenbank/honda-cb-750-four-k0-k6/cb750/0040

Throttle cables OK too.
