Here's some info that may be of value to folks who install higher bars/risers. Perhaps it could be made a sticky.
The clutch cable for the Transalp is about 2" longer than the stock NT cable and works perfectly as a replacement. P/N 22870-MAB-620
Since I don't know what other Honda model's throttle cables would work, I contacted some custom cable makers. The best bet seems to be Motion Pro. http://motionpro.com/motorcycle/
Their reply to my inquiry went like this:
"We do have the information on these cables so not a problem to custom
build these cables + 3". The cost to custom build these cables will be
$35 per each throttle cable excluding any shipping cost.
We currently have a window of 11 to 12 working days (Monday through
Friday) to build the cables once we process the order plus the time of
shipping. We do require the order to be paid by credit card and the ship
to address is the same as the billing address for the credit card. All
of our orders are considered special orders with a no return policy,
unless there is a warranty concern of some kind.
When you are ready to place your order pleas give us a call at
650-594-9600."
The key is that they know the specs. The other outfits I contacted wanted to be supplied with the info or have the original cables sent to them. Thirty five bucks to make a $10 cable isn't cheap, but it was less than the others.
