Default Slim Clutch Cable...Two Questions?

Is there a shorter cable option out there that I could swap onto the Slim? Got new bars (RSD Vintage Moto 's...love them...separate subject) and now I have a crap ton of clutch cable slack.

If not a shorter option, can you disconnect the cable from one end or the other so I can play around with different routing options?

Thanks guys.

I detached mine at the lever to reroute it.

I would imagine Barnett's or Motion Pro would have shorter cables. Unhooking the cable from the lever for re-routing would be the easiest way if you do that. Pretty simple.

So the cable comes apart from the handle assembly fairly easy so that you have just a lose end to work with? I'll go take a look.
