I put a new Sudco (Mikuni)carburetor on my 1970 Triumph Tiger. It seems the throttle cable is now a tad short. Anybody have any suggestions as to the length that I need versus the original? I had this problem on my 74 Bultaco, but I had a little room to modify the lever end. I don't think that will work on this bike. Thanks.

In the old days we made our own.

Try re-routing the cable to gain more slack. Have the cable come out from under the tank and go straight to the twist grip. Avoid the loop around the headlamp ears.

Thanks much, I'll give it a try.
