'V' Engine Throttle Bodies Cables

Can anyone recommend an 'off the shelf' cable assy for a twin set of bike-style throttle bodies?

Cheers

Could you not use a single cable to one side and a linkage to the other?

Or just two normal cable, but routed differently so they pull in opposite directions?

I tried that - I couldnt get them balanced - I then tried a short cable from one set to the other , that wouldnt synchronize either
I then made a solid linkage between the two sets - not perfect , but useable - then I saw a setup on some Jenvies which looked quite easy to make - and thats what I run now .








Its cuz I is blond , innit

When I put my new pedal box and throttle linkage on I only wanted one cable at the pedal box end, but the throttle linkage was a twin. I got round it by fitting a straddle cable I picked up from a local bike shop.

Picture of one here:

and fitted halfway down here:
