Hello,
I'm going to have a go at motorcycle gymkhana on my NC30 this year so I'm going to convert a spare top yoke to take some 22mm Renthal handlebars I've got kicking around the garage. I was wondering if anyone knows of any "off the shelf" i.e. from the breakers/eBay twist grip and cable set up that will fit the NC30 carbs but with the extra cable length needed for the raised throttle position? Worst case I'll set it up as pull only but would like the precision and reliability of the full push/pull system if at all possible. Any ideas or anecdotes would be very welcome.

Re: Handlebar conversion NC30 - Cable question
I know NC35 throttle cables are about 4" longer, but I'm not sure if they'll fit NC30 carbs. Not much help, I know...

Re: Handlebar conversion NC30 - Cable question
I love Venhill and always use them as OEM replacements for the lines and cables on my other bikes (they're vaguely local as well), but seeing as this is just a temporary mod I was just wondering if anyone knew of a 22mm twist grip and cable combination that would work. I'm guessing there's probably any number of motorcross/trials bikes that might fit but I was hoping for a bit of direction before I started scouring eBay. I've got a couple of potential donor bikes in the garage somewhere so I think I'll have a look at them and see what comes up.
Any other suggestions appreciated.
