i have a carby 1996 M900.  i installed some clipons a while back and i have always wanted to improve the look of the front end by replacing the now 6 inch too long throttle cable.  i have some pretty aggressive clipons.  they are below the triple and have zero rise.  i have always wondered what other shorter OEM ducati throttle cables might work. 

i was wondering if anyone could confirm that the throttle cable from the SS 900 would be the proper candidate?

It would certainly be a lot closer.

i'm sure that it would be closer, hence the inquiry.

anyone out there have a carby SS that they might be able to measure?
also, anyone know how to track the part number down for the SS throttle cables?  i could always suck it up and head to the dealership except i loathe interacting with the parts department at my local dealership... to say that they are retarded lemurs would be an insult to retarded lemurs the world over.

awesome,  you're even one step ahead of me taking the numbers to Ducati Omaha!

now i just need to get some measurements and decide if i think having a shorter cable is going to make the bike look 100$ better.
