I need shorter throttle cables, which ones to get?

[Lastwachter]

I replaced the handlebars on my 1978 GL1000 with shorter straighter bars. Now, the throttle cables need to loop out and make a much more severe turn going around to the left side of the bike and because of this, they do not slide as easy. So it looks like I need shorter cables so the turn is at less of an angle. My question is, how do I go about this? How do I guarantee that they will fit my GL1000 since they obviously won't be designed specifically for the bike?

Thanks for your help guys as always.

I had to do this for my wife's bike, only I needed longer cables, not shorter, as I had modified her handlebars. I ordered a custom set from Motion Pro:

Their site explains how to determine exactly what to order custom cables. They made my cables custom to match, and they worked great.
