For my CB500, I have a Motion Pro tach cable and both throttle cables, and they fit fine.  Same length as the originals.  I did buy a Parts Unlimited clutch cable, though, which was overall a little longer than the stock cable.  Not by much, maybe 1" or a little more.  The total throw length of the cable was the same, so the cable worked fine.  I didn't like the quality of the end as much as the stock or the motion pro cables though, I can't remember exactly why.  I think the solid metal cylinder, the cable end itself, was a little smaller than the original.
Hope that helps.

There is no selection for pro-motion tach cable.
Mine falls apart....

On my CL360 the Tach cable is too long and rubs all over including the tire..

My new Motion Clutch cable for my 1982 CB650SC appears to be longer than stock and I didn't realize it was hitting an exhaust pipe until it melted through the plastic.  I wrapped it in tape after wiring it out of the way, and it works fine. 

Still a bit too long, but I can live with it.
