Where would I get new cables?
I have the Clymer Manual, but I have done everything before so I didn't really follow it. It's pretty much just take everything off the bars, put new ones in, and put everything back on. Torque values were useful at times.

Since we have pretty much the same bike, if you went with the 10" mini's you'll see the exact part numbers I used.

I ordered cables through the dealer, and it was a fiasco. I just wanted the black vinyl ones because I'm cheap, and might upgrade down the line if I feel like it. The problem was they kept ordering me EFI throttle/idle cables, which don't work with the carb. It took me bringing them the exact part number from Drag Specialties that I wanted to get it right. Clutch and brake were fine.

Look for my post in the next day or two about part numbers, and with pics of the final install.
