  • Clutch Cable...

    Anyone know where i can get a shorter clutch cable? and what all does it entail to change the one I got out...I need a shorter one because i changed the bars out and the cable is now a B@$t@rd to pull in now due to the many angles the cable is making now...

      Motion Pro will make custom ones for you. However, if you route the cable right you will be fine. I just went through the same thing having changed my bars as well. Try routing the cable straight out of the lever and across the bars where the mount and over to the right side of the bike. Make a gentle bend down and under the right side of the tank right below the rubber tank mount and back to the wire guide on the carb, then down to the clutch housing. Use a plastic wire tie to tie it to the frame near the rubber tank mount. You should have no problem that way. If you don't like it going across by the bar mounts and ignition (doesn't bother me) then you will need a shorter cable.
