Stock clutch cable length
« on: August 22, 2007, 07:27:17 PM »
 I've got a 78 750k and I put drag bars on. The clutch cable is to long. The bars I took off I  don't think were stock so I think the cable is not stock. Does anyone have a stock clutch cable they could measure the outside housing on, so I know if I need a stock or shorter cable?
I did a search and couldn't find any stock cable lengths. Thanks.

We had the same problem with the CR (it has clipons) We ended up useing a UK spec F1 cable from DSS.

The UK F1 had the lower type bars and the cable from that model did the job for us.

Thanks all for the quick reply. I'll measure my cable and see what size I should order. Just eye balling it I need one about 4" shorter.

 Bad eye balling by me, the cable on there now is 7-3/4" longer than what "boatsdickson" said a stock cable is. I knew there was way to much cable hanging out there but not that much! Guess I'll get about 1" under stock.
