hey guys i'm in process of mounting some renthal fat bars on my r6.
i picked up some fz6 throttle cables but i'm having a bitch of a time with clutch. i was going to have motion pro make me one but they want like $57.00 and a 10 day min wait. i was going to make one myself i can't get just a few feet of cable the shortest amount i found was 100' and thats a lot more than i need and more than i want to spend (already went over budget for this project but that always happens... i mean its my bike so why not) can anyone help me out. i'm sure someone else has had to deal with this. the project is almost done (well i should say i'm almost back on the road i don't think i won't ever stop customizing my ride), i'll throw some pics up soon. thanks

how much is the clutch cable for a fz?

I wound up getting a clutch cable from a dl650 which was long enough for me.

Go to a bike shop or breakers with your old cable and find a longer one with the same fittings. Jap cables are pretty generic - you should find something that will fit.

Bike shop, tractor shop, hardware store

all ideas for places that have lots of cables

enrico an oem clutch cable of an fr6 is like 16.00 when i bought the throttle cable i got a clutch cable for the fz as well thinking it might work but it didn't so if you need one i have it.

Have a local dirtbike ATV shop? The one I used to frequent back home could make you whatever length you want. They also have a butt load in stock already made. You may have to take a file to the lead nub at the end because some of them had larger nubs but its an option.

I found that the old ninjas (late 80s) use really long cables because of their gay looks & set up. So I'm running a ninja 600 clutch cable.

Motion Pro rocks, it's worth every cent. Their teflon coated cable is supreme.

that quote sounds high, motion pro was about $30 per for my custom cables, and worth every penny.

thats very high, but thats the number they gave me. i'm going to start calling around and see if i can get cables made locally

Motion Pro had excellent customer service and thier product is top notch.

i took care of it. thanks guys. i went to Motorcycles Of Manchester (usually i hate that shop) and Jay let me match up what i had against their rack of genaric cables. i should have gone there first, i mean they are 2 seconds down the road but i never thought they would have them in the back they usually don't keep inventory. they are not perfect but i am riding. when i get a little cash i am most likey going buy the motion pro supplies and make my own.
