After a few different attempts at used cables, and random "Honda" cables from a certain retailer named after a large river, I broke down and ordered custom cables from Motion Pro. I measured, measured again, and then a third time; then placed the order. It took about 3 weeks to get them to the tune of about $140. Totally worth it, they fit perfectly!
It took a few attempts to figure out the appropriate routing to avoid binding but eventually I found the best path. Then, had to pull the cables to lube them. I used a trick from MC Garage:
This worked perfectly! I used some high end Dupont Dry Film lubricant that I use on my 3d printers.
The routing was definitely a challenge since it's a bit of a mess behind the "gauge" cluster.
Next is fresh fuel and some test rides to see if the 120 Mains are big enough. I'm guessing they won't be but I should have enough larger Main sizes to get this narrowed down. Then it's on to the next step of the CV tuning guide http://www.factorypro.com/tech/tech_tuning_procedures/tuning_carbtune,CV,high_rpm_engines.html
