where do I get shorter throttle cables?
« on: January 18, 2006, 06:47:09 AM »
Does anyone know where to get shorter throttle cables for my 78 cb550k? After I added the clip ons, the cables are too long.

Motion Pro will make you custom cables to length.

Call up Rob at http://crc2onlinecatalog.com  Got good products, and very friendly over the phone.

They will take a stock honda cable and shorten it for only a few extra bucks.  I got shortened push/pull cables for my 750 /w clubmans for only ~$40!

From my conversations with Rob, he mentioned they will also make longer cables, if you have some big 'ole ape hangers on your bike. Since they have to make those from scratch, those will cost a bit more than shortening an existing cable.

I ordered on a thursday he had them build friday and shipped monday.  Great service.

 Barnett cables, find a dealer and tell them you want cables that are _ inches shorter than stock.
They will make em and send em out.
