Default Throttle cable routing

I just installed new bars on the bike. Got the pro taper se bars. I believe they are the cr mid bend. The throttle cables are a bit short. The bike revs when the bars go full left. I checked the FAQs, but the links don't seem to be working. Does anyone know a good place to reroute to get the tiny bit I need?

If you can't get the needed cable clearance, Motion Pro can set you up with custom length cables.

I am only running the open cable (aka pull cable) due to the close cable being kinked and not having a replacement at hand. I will say when I had the tank off the first time I saw the cable running down under the tank - and tight. I ended up with the cable running along the inside of the right frame spar between it and the gas tank. Made a better run with less tightness in the curves. Take a look, it may work for you.

In addition after a ride you may or may not find you need to shorten the bars. I have 3/4" per side cut off the Renthals on my bike, I needed a bit narrower. Don't know the bend.
