1978 Honda CB 750 shortened throttle cables

78cb750-2
I have a 1978 Honda CB 750. Recently I put Cafe style bars on and that made the throttle cables sag like an old ladies tits. I've asked local bike shops for the shorter cables but they all want to know make and model of my bike and that would put me in the same place I am now.

Does anyone have suggestions on what other bike(s) have the same fittings and ends as my CB 750 but shorter to help me loose the sag in the lines? Or an online store that has a Cafe Kit?

Try Carpy at www.cb750cafe.com.  He deals with this on a day to day basis.  Good luck.

I asked Carpy about that same thing last year. He said he always uses stock cables. Just gotta get out those zip-tyes and secure them right.
