Conversion from CA77 to CB77 Handlebars

Post by mcmig » Wed Dec 31, 2014 12:08 pm

Hi,

Does anyone knows if the CA77 Throttle, Clutch and brake cables will still work/fit if I convert it to to flat handlebar like the CB77, or they will be too long to fit right?

They sell the complete kit here for new cables for the CB77:

I really like the style of the bike with the flat bars on Jethro's bike. (See attachment)

Unless you're going to tie knots in them you probably need CB77 cables..... :-)

There will still be the issue of a throttle cable and throttle. The CB cable is a dual cable. The CA throttle is the slide type.

I think I would go for a throttle and cable off something like a CB100 or another Honda single....

I am running drag bars on mine which I cut down and converted to accept the stock throttle. Running into the same issues new cables wayyyy to long now. Plenty of videos on how to shorten them on youtube which is what I will be doing very soon. Looks very simple. Good luck and post some pics when you are done.
