throttle cable?

Just go a new BBK 58mm and my throttle cable is a little lose and the cruse is too short. when i push me peddle WOT the TB will not open all the way, just needs a little more. The Cruse is also a bit shorter and will not alow it to shut all the way.

Is there a any way to adjust the cables?

Where can you buy those clips, mine is snapped like a coke can. I have never even seen where the cable connects to the pedal.

It should fit without modification. Is your cable bracket on the intake bent? The cruise cable has an adjuster built in the middle of it if needed.

Not bent. The cable could have been loose with my old 52mm, I just never noticed. But with the 58mm the cruise is really tight and made me check the throttle when pushing the pedal.
