I've measured the open & close cables that I have they are as follows 91 cms & 84 cms long measuring round the fixed bend end (with an expanding tape steel tape as best I can) to the other end of the outer cable.
I'm pretty sure they are aftermarket ones, the outer cables are not damaged.
PM me if they are if any use to you.
beardylondon:
Thanks Ted.
Does your bike have the taller bars?

All I can tell you is my bars were not a good fit at the clamping point as the markings were partially inside the center of the clamps so you could see the serations in the middle of the bars, the outer section was clamping on smooth bar that was starting to rise so not the best fit.
The clutch & throttle cables all seemed on the long side, although pretty new, that's why I changed them to suit the replacement UK style bars.

Ok cheers, this is what mine look like:
