Default Longer Clutch Cable

Trying to finish the last couple of jobs on my Curvy/GSXR K7 front end conversion.
Just put on my new TL1000 clip-ons (feel a bit high) and the clutch and brake lines are now a bit tight.
I will be fittiing braided brake lines ,so not a problem, but when doing tight right turns the cable tightens and i lose drive.

So my queston is, can anyone recomend a slightly longer cable?
Thanks
Mike

Is the clutch cable routed properly, I have never known there to be a problem. If it is really an issue then a 'N' model clutch cable will fit and is slightly longer.

I think so, i took photos of all the cable routings before i started and have put them back the same way. Saying that it may not of been right to start with, so i will re check tomorow.
Thanks

That's probably the culprit. Didn't have to change my cable, nor the routing of it.

Nope. My bike was S model, standard clutch cable.
It's naked now because I tried jumping a ditch

TL clip-ons on a GSXR front end aren't really noticeable higher than OEM SV.

I rode it for a couple of days with the GSXR bars, (minus the bodywork,as they hit) which are very low, so the change to the TL bars feel a lot higher, almost upright.

Yes but that is comparing GSXR to TL, trust me there is hardly a difference in the bar height from SV to TL so the clutch cables length shouldn't be an issue.
