For reference this is what the shorter cables required me to do. You can see the cable cross over the center of the frame.

I know that the housing can be trimmed down on the new longer cable but with how the cable enters the carb on top that would cause the same issue as the shorter cable with it coming up so high right where my legs are.

Having it wrapped around back of the seat allows it to be out of my legs way.

Yeah, 90* on the carb, and shorten the cable to the right length.

Also, looking to see solutions not theories. Maybe supply me with a helpful link. I can keep throwing money on things that might work. And to be honest I'm not sure a 90 bend will do me any favors due to height position and location of the carb. Stock carbs for these fit inside the subframe so there is no issue with a cable coming up and between your legs. I'm interested in seeing what others have done to route their cable safely.

Thanks for the heads up on the Bendys. Really do not think that is solving any problems with a carb that is under your legs tho. Man if the cab was placed where it is for an e50 like shown then any thing would work fine. Even just having it go straight in like it does now.

Perhaps someone with a big carb outside of the sub frame on a Honda hobbit would be able to chime in on this one...

So currently I have the cable routed under the tank and it would be beneath the left side "floorboard" only I don't have that one on due to the carb position. The issue still remains that once it comes from under the floor board it will still need to make it up to the carb in a way that does not kink the cable nor puts it in the way of my legs.

I am not too concerned with the longevity of the current cable routing I have for it, just want to know what others have done on their bikes with this specific setup. I know I'm not the only one out here with the vm20 sticking out on the side.

Definitely gonna look at grabbing one of the Bendys. They will only help the situation for sure.

^^^ Yeah, I don't understand how this routing is not an answer. Your legs should not be anywhere near this.

With the 180* bendy I linked, you could solve this situation immediately

This is definitely how mine runs. i cut a little groove out of my floorboard like 6 inches up from the carb so it would stay (mostly) hidden, though i don't remember off the top of my head which cable i used. let me look through my treats orders and see if i can figure it out

I agree with Dillon, you can get squarely into the low 50s with the stock carb, and 55+ with the phbg tucked in the stock location. How much faster do you really want a loaner bike to go?

These out the side index seem totally stupid unless you're building a wackadoo monster bike at which point you're going to run the deal intake anyway with a TM 24.

WHOA, neato. Yeah, the 77 intake rotated the VM slightly to avoid impacting the frame, but this is a good starting point.

I guess I could totally go back to the og setup. It was just setup this way when I got the bike.

And I'm not trying to do anything more than the 45 the bike goes right now. I do have a new variator coming for it which can allow the bike to be faster.

As for a fast loaner. You better believe I want a loaner to be reliable and also quick. Quickness can save yourself as much as good brakes can.

Cool, thanks for the info! We'll see how it fits when I eventually get to that project hah.

i make all my throttle cables. get some gnarps and some hologram jacket from treats.
