I've not used these guys but a quick Google found them. if they don't have the right end fittings, perhaps your shops can use the cable and crimp the ends on. Is 12 ft long enough?

| Post subject: | Source for custom clutch/throttle cables |
I've been searching the web and calling custom motorcycle shops looking for a source for clutch and throttle cables. A few places said they could cut one down in size but nobody knows where to source 7-8 ft long cables. Back in the 70's I worked in a motorcycle shop and we would cut what we needed off a big reel and solder the ends on. I guess those days are gone. Any ideas? |

Had the same problem finding a throttle cable. Local bicycle shop had bulk cable. Had to finish the ends myself but that was no big deal. Good luck! |

Try ultralight supplies. Or talk to Bob at Aerocontrols; he may be able to custom make them for you. He once owned a real 7. http://www.aerocontrols.net/Miscellaneous.htm |

You can also try Midwest Control Products: http://www.midwestcontrol.com/ I think there may have been some people on this board that have used them before to make custom cables. |

Thanks guys. Bicycle cables I think would be too light duty for clutch on an R1 engine. Aerocontrols is a possibility but a bit of a hassle and probably expensive. I've bought stuff from Midwest before but I think all their cables are push/pull. jrracecar has some good long cables at a reasonable price. I ended up buying this kit from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/110855334221 16 ft of cable and a whole bunch of ends to play with. |
