No takers on the replacement cable question? Not sure if I should be bothering the seller about the discrepancy or not...
I can't help with your cable length at all as mine being a UK model has got the lower bars fitted. Sourcing the correct length cables is a nightmare at times. Sometime it is a case of just keep ordering different ones until you get the right length. As you say, even referenced to the same Honda part number, you can still end up with 3 or 4 sets that don't fit before you obtain the correct ones.
