Default New throttle Cable

Hey guys. I just bought a new throttle cable because my old one broke. But this one is about 1-1.5 inches longer. Is this okay?

Thanks !

Joey.

you know how the wire attatches to your break? with the wire going through the screw, then it tightens. maybe you could get one of those and get some extra break wire and attatch it to the end of your throuttle wire using the same kinda method.

just a thought.

you can maybe try cutting 1.5" off of the throttle sleeves.

1. cut around the vynil first with an exacto knife.
2. then uncoil the inner metal sleeve first and then cut it so that you will not cut the actual cable by accident.
