Need longer throttle, clutch, brake cables

Post by texaslowco » Sun Feb 12, 2006 11:17 pm

Inherited a CA77, everything's fixed except handlebars were rusted through so I bought a replacement. The bars are supposedly NOS but the rise is 5" higher than the original. Extended all electricals but my throttle, brake, and clutch cables are tooooo short. Can't seem to find longer cables anywhere, any suggestions? Can I take the cables somewhere and say "Make me 5 inches longer"?

Tex, Have you looked at E-Bay? Iv'e seen longer than stock cable sets there. Not sure they will have a throttle cable with the set . Ed is probably right about shorter bars. Good luck! Kustom
