Cables for Lower Bars
« on: April 11, 2005, 01:21:20 PM »
Looking for ideas on what options might be out there for shorter cables when using lower bars/clubmans?

Trumpet, I too, installed some clubman bars and have too long throttle cables now.  I anxiously await replies!

Yup!!!  ;D

My main problem is the brake line, which now takes an "S" turn before dividing into the two calipers (dual disk set up done by P.O.).  No leaks, nothing major to worry about, and I'll probably fix it one day when I install custom fit steel braided lines.  As for the throttle and clutch, I just let them stick out the front a little bit.  At lleast the bike doesnt rev up when turning the handlebars to the max like it used to.  Or if it does, I haven't paid attention to it.

but if anyone knows of shorter cables, let us all know!!!
