Playing around with the cables again last night I decided to do some measuring and checking about how much longer I think I should get the throttle cable.
First of all, the Clutch cable that LANCER sold me was quite a bit longer than necessary, so I wonder what exactly he was going to put that cable on. It was 12" longer than the stock S40 w/drag bars and it has a straight connector at the clutch perch rather than the 90
o bend. (Longer than necessary, but works great
)
Next, when I re-routed the Throttle cable again, I found that the older pullback cable that I had picked up from spacepirates actually reached a little bit better than the stock cable I was using. Side by side the cables are the exact same length, but the older cable has a 90
o bend by the grip vs the 135
o or so bend on the stock cable. I think I will be able to ride it with this cable for the time being, but I will still order a new 6" longer cable from MotionPro when funds are available.
Lastly, the brand new SS Brake Line that I installed is just barely long enough...I really should've ordered it about 2" longer just to give myself a little bit more slack, because right now when the forks are fully extended it is a straight line between the lever and the caliper. Good thing I don't like to do wheelies
