switching handlebars; cable compatability? was created by Carr_113
I have a drag bar on my Z1 now, but want to switch to superbike bars (to give the bar more clearance from the tank when at the locks). I bought shorter throttle and clutch cables from Z1enterprises to go with the drag bar, but never installed them. Will these cables work with superbike bars, or will I need to get the stock length cables? Thanks!

Stock cables are a little long for superbike bars but will work. As far as the shorter ones working you will have to do a mockup to see if they are long enough

If existing cables prove too short, Z1R cables might work.
Would inquire of Z1E.
They know which cables fit best with various bars mounted on Z1.
Might also consider throttle cables.
Good Fortune!
