Need to ask why are you doing this ? Are your original switches malfunctioning or is this cosmetic ?
Bar switches are very stout units and usually only act up because of dirt and grime in the contacts. A good cleaning will usually suffice .

Clutch cable works fine...96 up throttle cables are snap in, and 95 down are threaded...but...the hole is the exact right size...just run a tap though it and the threaded cables work.
