I've had Aeromach risers on my bike for many years now, and have had my throttle cables come around the side of my fork (see pictures) to allow them to reach. I did try having them go behind the triple tree, but I didn't like the tight bend that they made to fit there, which, depending on steering position, prevented the throttle from returning by itself. The way I have it now is not perfect, as the cables are pulled quite tight with a full right turn, and the cable bend radius is tight enough that the throttle returns slowly. This is true even with new cables.
What I want to do is get a new pair of cables made at a length that allows the original stock routing to be used. There is a fellow who does this locally. I would provide him with my old cables and ask him to make the cables and sleeves __ longer than the old ones. I am assuming that __ distance should be exactly the difference between the length of my original risers and the Aeromach risers. Can anyuone with experience playing with cable lengths tell me if I'm on the right track?
