I thought about changing the handlebars for the euro one, but don't were I can find one?

I put Norton straight bars on my last CB350. I like the look and feel of a forward leaning position. Wish I hadn't sold the bike though

I like the straights. Had them on my triple and found them very comfortable.

I have now changed the bars for a euro style. Only problem is that the gas cables seems to be to long so it doesn't let go of the gas quite as good as I want it. Any ideas besides changing the cables?

Unfortunately not Peter - got to have the correct length throttle cables I'm afraid..

Check that you have enough slack in the "pull/opening" cable, if you don't then you get a conflict between the pull and push cables that can change as you turn the handlebars and also make the thottle heavy. As James says it's ideal to use the correct length cables but check the above first to see if you can gain an improvement.

I tried to reroute the cables that helped but I'm still not satisfied, so I ordered a set of correct cables. I think my clutch cable might also have a little problem with the lower bars.
