Bike Bandit is a great resource for looking at cross referenced part numbers.

www.bikebandit.com/oem-parts/1993-suzuki...w/o/m22090#sch248841
#6 looks identical to what I have, and I 'think" mine front wheel is from a 93.

Other interesting thing is that Suzuki is like Chevrolet, they try to use same parts year after year.. For example, I was looking at a 99 Bandit in a parking lot when I realized it has the same front wheel as mine, which is from a 93 Gixxer. So they try to use older gen stuff on the Bandit, from earlier Gixxers.

This schematic is identical to the 93 gixxer, but it is from a 99 Bandit. Pretty handy stuff.

Hope you find this helpful.

People ask "Why does this take so long?"...

Well bike number two is done the S2 Gixxer, and going home today. Its a Gixxer, this is a KZ forum, but hey..? There is a KZ in the background of the photo.

Another option is www.motionpro.com . Just tell them what ends it needs on it and what length and they will make the customer cable for you. Not much cost difference vs. a standarded cable.

As always, a beautiful, well thought out bike!

I didn't realize motion-pro offered custom cables. That's awesome!
When you tell them what ends you need, do you have to give them dimensions or just say "top cable fitting for 77kz1000" and bottom cable for '86 Suzuki GSXR750"?

Just tell them what bikes the ends need to match and what length you need.
