Hi all,
So I've replaced my old bars for my LT with clip-ons, and that gives me a lot of extra throttle and speedo cabling left over (as well as brakes, etc).
My question is in the title. Is there a way I can create custom cables, / cut these ones down, or find replacement cables that would be short enough for this config? Are the ends BMW specific, and can I buy them somewhere?
Thanks,
D
PS: You can see how much extra there is as both lay down below the AFM.
