On my R1 I used bicycle gear cables. I did try brake cables first but it's thicker and not as flexible around the TB attachment. I used the fitted nipple at the pedal end and a solderless nipple at the TB's; Others have done it the oposite way. In the bike it has 2 but one is to pull the throttle back off and I just used one and relied on the return spring.
