78 Yamaha xs750 throttle cable

  Son bought a 78 XS750 Yamaha beater bike and can't seem to find a
throttle cable to fit. Apprently the previous owner put taller bars on
it and now a replacement cable is all but impossible to find.

 Anyone else had a simular issue and come up with a fix?
 
 Or even better, enyone know where to find a cable MFG that lists the
lengths of OEM and aftermarket cables?

 Thanks

Might be easier to find a lower bar instead!

The 78 XS750 came in two flavors:  Regular (XS750-E) and Special (XS750-SE).

The Regular models have lower bars and hence, shorter throttle cables
than the Specials.  You can get both cables from http://partsnmore.com  
for about $12 each.

Look about 80% of the way down.

Partsnmore is a very good place to order from.  Over the years, I have
never had an issue with them.

Another place for many parts is http://mikesxs.com  - He only deals with
the XS650, but many parts are interchangeable.  The NOS replacement
controls in particular may come in handy at some point ... I bought a
set for my old 77 2D and was very pleased.

Last, but CERTAINLY not least, I would purchase cross-reference software
for Yamahas from http://zedder.com  - It can be invaluable in matching up
parts and is well worth the money.
