I have a new set of bars on the way, which will necessitate extending everything running to them. Now hoses and wires are easy for me. The cables, not so much. I have seen that Motion Pro can make them to order, though they are not cheap. I am keeping the stock throttle sleeve/ switch set up. Can anyone advise what the best method of attack is for this problem?

Holy crap that bike don't even need a kickstand that can is big enough to hold it up on its own.

I must say I'm intrigued and probably going to try it! Looks a good bit cheaper than having them made and opens up a whole new arena for me. The guys on that forum seem to have had great success. I'll post how this goes. If anyone has experience please chime in.

Worked like a champ!
I now have a set of throttle cables with custom length and arrangement (for my Joker Machine, Hardley style throttle) in stainless casing for less than $100. The best part is if I ever have issues with a snapped cable on any bike I know how to repair it for a couple dollars

Post some pics, rdbul.
Alright man, but just a peak. Once I get these bars all buttoned up I'm going to do a proper write-up on my new stuff. Kinda betting this one ain't been done before.
If your looking for a tutorial on how to do it, follow the link in my previous post to the chop cult forum. The gentlemen I spoke to at Flanders cable was incredibly helpful and sent me all the right stuff, the first time. Its refreshing when you can call a place that "specializes" in something and get someone that genuinely know his s**t. Its kinda like calling ol' Sean Morely.

Very cool. I wish they were one piece lines from the factory.
One part lines really suck to install. The push pull is also a safety thing so not too bad to have it as a 4 part set.
