Throttle cables

Is an 84 kz550 ltd's throttle cable longer than an 84 zx550? The zx550 engine swap I did on my 81 kz550a I'm using an zx550 cable but it seems a little short.
81/84 kz/zx550

Ltd handlebars are typically taller than the standard models, so the ZX cable is probably too short.

The Kz550A is the "Standard" model, as in non-Ltd and non-Gpz.. The Ltd models are either Kz550C, Kz550M, or Kz550F models.
The Zx550A, or course, is a Gpz, albeit the later Gpz.
The early Gpz's were Kz550D and Kz550H models.

The Ltd's usually have the longest throttle cable. The Standard's cable is normally much shorter than the Ltd, and the Gpz throttle cables are still a tiny bit shorter than the Standard's.
