There's way to much slack for the adjusters to cope with.
-
Looks like you've got the longer type USA cable for the higher bars Gary. Is the top end routed correctly?
-
Is that a 500 cable you are using?
Might be worth checking the uncovered cable length to compare.
Unless the US version has a different lever I would expect the extra length to just leave a loop of spare cable.
Can you move the lower bracket higher or is that fixed?

Looks more like a cb750 K cable ;) You will need a 550 cable as you have a 550 cover ;)

I could well be wrong but I thought a slight difference in overall length wouldn't matter. as its the free inner cable length that is important.
On this cable it is 5.5 inches which is quite a bit to much for the adjusters to cope with.
I also thought 500 and 550 cables were the same.

Bracket is fixed.

Not routed as just a trial to see if the 550 conversion is working out.

I was told its a 500 cable, then again I was told a lot of things that turned out to be "inaccurate" :o
-
500 cable has a cover over the adjuster bolt, 550 doesn't.

Yes, it has a cover for the adjuster.

Im thinking snip the nipple off and re solder (or solderless nipple)

That is what i would do mate, but use a solder nipple as, they are stronger ;)

May well be there, whether permitting. The last one was packed, never seen so many bikes outside of a BSB bike park. Ill let you know.
