anybody has a good suggestion for a custom throttle cables for the Valkyrie? I have a risers that are only about an inch or so longer (if that) - they added a lot of comfort for the sitting position overall but I had to re-route the cables in front of the triple tree. It is not a big deal and everything seems to be fine but I was just thinking that at some point I would route them properly as originally intended/designed and couldn't find the cables at the places where I used to buy them for other bikes

There are a number of places selling them. Here is one:

Thanks, ended up calling Barnett and they got everything done over the phone.

I bought custom cables but they only sold it in 2-inch longer increments. Forget where but same thing had to talk to a different employee on the phone. Sounds like the person does it as a side business. Anyways, the cables ended up slightly too long even for the 2-inch + aftermarket riser. It rubbed against the windshield and left a scuff mark. I think the 2-inch longer increments isn't ideal or too large a jump.
