I need a longer throttle cable - IDEAS?

[Logan #34's Dad]

Hey guys, I've got a Honda style thumb throttle going into a Keihin carb. The cable that came with the throttle is not long enough to reach the carb (For a DRR or Apex). Any ideas on what factory cable would work?
It's about 2 inches short -----story of my life!!!! :blah:

Try a 250R cable. Should be perfect

Thanks. I wonder if anyone knows the actual length of one? That cable would make sense, its made for pretty much what I'm doing.

I may have a brand new one. I will look and see if I can find it and measure it.

The 250r would have to be for the 86 87 model the 88 89 have a linkage in the throttle asm.I agree though it should be long enough,if not;
I will have some made I am going to offer the build as a bolt in Mod kit for the Can Am

You want to sell it if you have one. I really don't want to deal with my local Honda shop.....

Heck you could have it if I could find it. I looked but it's MIA.

Just bypass the Honda shop (ours sucks too) and call Motion Pro and buy one direct from them. They're great to deal with.

I have a Cobra with an RM 85 in it. The cable I got it with cross referenced to a Motion Pro 84 to 85 ATC 250R. The outer sheath measured 41". Is this on a DRR? The Mach 1 cable from Hot Quads will work on that. It threads into the Honda throttle or newer DRR.
