I bought motion pro +4". You cant use the N model, the end fittings are different. Motion pro 04-0331. Perfect fit, for tube bars, I am just running the S clip on's on top of the triples, and they're a shade long in my case, but a perfect fit nonetheless.
Throttle cables, are there any longer options for the S model?
I'm currently trying to convert my bike to riser bars. I've got the new yoke fixed on and the electrical wiring sorted with some re-routing but I can't get the throttle cable to fit, or at least not if I want the bike to turn right!
I'm about 2" short although a little more would be better, just wondering what options (if any) there are for longer cables.
I was told that my original cable should work with the bars I'm using, Renthal 758, but after trying several routings I'm not getting them to fit.
There is a possibility that my cables are not original of course as the bike is 16 years old and I've only had it a few months but if I'm going to be buying new cables I'd prefer to get some extra length if possible.
Does anyone know of any cable options with the same fittings but a bit longer?
I thought it should be possible to get some from the 'N' specification bike but it seems these have a different fitting at the bars (presumably same at throttle body end) so I'd have to change the housing and possibly the twist grip too and this may even have implications for the switch gear so not a can of worms I want to open really.

Cheers Jokester, I'll look into them, not heard of them in the UK but I'm not really in touch with this kind of componentry anyhow, hopefully I can get them here.

Yep, looks like they're not available in UK but seem like I can get them shipped from the US of A, guess I'll get spanked for import duty but at least I'll have a cable with plenty of length, should be able to keep the same routing which will look and hopefully work better too. Thanks again for the recomendation
Well if it will help, I can get em to me, and send em off as parts I "custom make filling customs forms" etc etc with value as $1 - but then again its still likely to cost a pretty penny just to ship. I send parts to - well everywhere, Israel, Australia, Hungary etc etc on the GS500 site - GSTwin.com where I am on as "The Buddha". UK is a lot easier than Israel I'll bet - though TBH I have not shipped stuff to UK.

Will need these for lifting / move back / change bar angle mod I have in mind for my 1000S
Just to close the loop on this, I did eventually manage to re-route my cable successfully. I had to take the routing through the RHS of the headstock and they just reach. I had tried this initially but the tight-ish "S" bend this gives behind the headstock resulted in the cables exiting the throttle bodies as a tight angle. I moved the cables slightly and used a tie-wrap to keep them in position which gave a good result. I'll probably look into a set of those longer cables over winter when I have more tinker-time available.
Yeah, i would get the longer cables for sure, the load that is put on the cables over time can cuase premature wear, and also drag on the throttle tube and the shaft on the
throttle body. The possibility, when heat is built up that binding may occur is higher too......

I did the TopYokes conversion on my '07 and after a few hit and miss attempts with cables I found the that the '06 Hyabusa cables are the perfect length; you have to swap the twist grip and housing and for some reason the starter wiring from the Hyabusa has a female end plug rather than male like the SV, (so 10 solder connections later), but it all works perfectly and the throttle response is perfect, and no binding of the cables on full lock and it's routed the same as the factory.
You could have pulled the pins out and put em in the new housing, OK wait, why were you swapping the switch assy ? Busa cables only fit a busa throttle grip, which only fit a busa switch assy ?
I had to swap the entire SV throttle assembly over to the Hyabusa set-up to use the cables; unfortunately wasn't able to just swap the pins over due to them being female plugs, not male pins. I was going to just swap over the internals of the switch (starter button, hazards lights, etc) but the design is slightly different.You could have pulled the pins out and put em in the new housing, OK wait, why were you swapping the switch assy ?

Venhill cables are in the UK can make you some longer cables...I've used them before on both throttle and clutch cables on various bikes in std and longer lengths, plus brake lines.Just to close the loop on this, I did eventually manage to re-route my cable successfully.

Thanks Guy, I'll keep that in mind, may change them over as we get into winter although they seem to be working very well at the moment so I'm maybe thinking of slipping into "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mode! There's a couple of other jobs I'd like to sort out before I get to this one too.Venhill cables are in the UK can make you some longer cables...I've used them before on both throttle and clutch cables on various bikes in std and longer lengths, plus brake lines.

Hi mate ive recently done a bar conversion on my svs & used vstorm throttle cables which work fine just a lot longer , but i managed to lose the extra cable by running it around the inside of the fairing & used a couple of cable clamps to keep everything tidy, also had to use the cable adjusters to max to take the slack out , hope this helps fellaI'm currently trying to convert my bike to riser bars.

Thanks for the advice. Must admit that now you mention it I don't know why I didn't at least think of checking out the V Strom setup as it's such a close relation.
When you say 'a lot longer' do you have any idea how much? Also any idea on price? Or part number(s)?

the v storm cables are about 250 mm longer & i think were about £30.00 on ebay loads out their , a bit of rerouting & cable clamps they fit & look fine theirs no snaging & ticks over fine with no increase in revs when go to full lock right & left , i will test ride her tomorrow & let you know how it goes 🤞did you get the pics 👍
250mm, that's 10" in old money, quite a bit to hide away but as you say losing some excess should be much easier than trying to gain some.Hi GDCobra

Didn't get any pic's. Where would I get them?
Venhill are good guys, got custom lenght braided brake lines from them, good quality, fit, no prob...didnt know they make also cables, good to knowVenhill cables are in the UK can make you some longer cables...I've used them before on both throttle and clutch cables on various bikes in std and longer lengths, plus brake lines.
On my '03 SV1000S the throttle cable is routed under the tank and out the gap in the right front of the frame. Plenty of room length with that routing.
