clutch cable options?

[coolasice]

I installed my handguards the other day but noticed that I had to modify the clutch cable routing and bend to make it work, not 100% to my liking. Is there a different clutch cable we can get that is like 2-3" longer for these bikes? I know about motion pro cables, but have read that they are poor lasting and break prematurely. any other ideas besides the hydraulic option?

MotionPro offers several different cables. (quality wise) Any of which can be a custom length.

I did and in my experience they offer cables of different qualities. I've had their cheap ones break and their high end last longer than I owned the bike.

i put a motion pro on my bike a few weeks ago and so far so good. it was the one the local shop had in stock. i did get some good info from the shop keep regarding checking for burrs and making sure the cable end rotates freely in the lever.

what's are the various quality models called?

Go to www.MotionPro.com Depending on application there are 5 different materials used. Nice thing with Motionpro is they make them in house and if not available they can custom one for you be that in materials and/or lengths.
