Throttle Cable Length

After reading Snowbum's article on Bing Carbs and having issue after issue with the my old Bing 64/32/1 &2 carbs on a 72' R75/5 SWB, I decided to a upgrade to a slightly newer 64/32/257/258 off a R80. I’ve cleaned them up, replaced all the internal parts and added manual chokes. Everything mounted up fine but I’m having an issue with the throttle cables. I have the euro bar cables that are apparently the shortest available at around 39 inches but they still have too much slack. The part number is *32731236610‬.

Any idea if there is a stock cable that will fit or will I need to have them custom made?
 
It's hard to see all of the lengths available thru something like RealOEM. But Vech has a listing which shows the overall lengths more easily:

If you start with the number you provided 32731236610‬ in his listing, you can quickly look through the various items. I don't see anything in the two-cable variety that you need (not the split upper/lower cables for other models) that is anything less than 1009mm. Search his parts page for "throttle" and scroll down to 32731236610‬ to look around.

From what I can see, it appears you will need to go custom.
