Shortest stock KZ clutch cable?

I'm in need for a new clutch cable for my Z1 powered Moto Martin, currently the bike has some normal touring bars on it but the bike is meant to have clip-ons to compliment the race fairing, this leaves me with lots of unneeded cable lenght if I order a stock Z1 cable.

I'm new to old Kawa's but there must be models which have sportier handlebars (Z1R?) and taller ones (LTD)?

Or can you get different lenghts aftermarket?

A cable from a Z1R is going to be about the shortest you can find from the OEM that I know of. I did find a couple Motion Pro or Barnett (can't remember which) that were either 2" or 4" shorter than a normal Kz. Shorter aftermarket cable are out there but hard to find. Most people just go with a Z1R cable.

Try contacting Z1 Enterprises. They sell Motion Pro cables and I'm pretty sure Motion Pro is willing to make custom length cables.

Thanks guys, I will get in touch with Z1enterprises, I already have very positive experiences with them buying Suzuki parts. :huh:

That is the shortest readily available cable. The Z1R has bars with only a 2"-2.5" or so rise (50mm-65mm).

Motion Pro makes any length you need. We have worked with Motion Pro to make a number of custom cables - some just shorter /longer versions of stock cables, others having different ends where alternate carbs or throttle assemblies are fitted.

Or wait a little 'till Jeff posts in my topic.

I've tried the clip-on bars seating position but didn't like them, fitted a set of aluminum Superbike bars instead. Will order a cable along with some other stuff as I make a list.

Thanks guys for the info!

is there a price difference for custom cables? i went with clip-ons and they're perfect for me. maybe i should just email you

Custom cables - depending on what is needed, they range from around $25 up to $50 each.
