Cable selection?

19 Jan 2012 19:11

Getting ready to order cables for my bike, "77 LTD 1000", I've put superbike bars from Z1E on and the front forks have lowering blocks in them. How long of speedo, clutch, and throttle cables would be best? Want to get it right the first time.

Thanks

My plan was to order from Jeff and actually should have thought of that. I'm ordering tomorrow.
Thanks.

I don't know if there is a shorter speedo cable but Z1R throttle cables and clutch cable will be a bit shorter due to them using a "superbike" type handlebar from the factory.

If you look at the throttle/clutch cables, I have seen Jeff usually puts a note about needing longer/shorter ones and a part number, too. Very helpful. B)
