I have a 77 R100RS that I just put stock handlebars on. The bars that were on her were higher and wider and swept back a tad. The stock ones are the narrow flat ones. Since installing the stock bars, I am getting some sticking throttle cables. I have tried to route them every which way I could. I can get her to start and run fine, but after she warms up they start to stick a little and I have to use to brakes to slow the engine when I come to a stop. I am supposing that I need new cables for two reasons: 1)to be shorter, 2) so they will slide better in the sheaths. Is this correct? AND What cables do I need? On Bob's BMW site, they have the sets with two cables coming out of the throttle for the two carbs, but separate them into ones for US bars and Europa bars. Help.
