I used the bike clutch cable and made a clevis to connect it to the pedal.
For the accel cable I used a long push bike brake cable.

I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

Clutch cable - same way as Gordon, accelerator cable, took both down to a local bike shop and had them lengthened (keep a spare). If you speak to Mark
at Mach #1 he does a natty return spring system to keep it all tight.

Adapted clutch cable from bike. Sourced some new cable inners and outers and nipples for making & connecting accelerator and choke cables.

Ah forgot about the choke. I used the bonet release mech to operate the choke. Keeps it neat and out of the way of the dash.

I bought a standard off-the-shelf choke cable from a motor factors - v. cheap.

do you really need a choke on the bike engine. most of the info i seen from ST suggest that you dont need one.

Yeah, we heard that most people don't bother with the choke cable. However, we found that we needed the bonnet release catch from the Sierra to
mount the plastic cowls and like MK Ninja, decided to use this to operate the choke. We have since found that it is useful to have a choke.
It makes starting much easier.

The 2 Blades I've had start superbly without a choke, by pushing the accelerator a tiny bit. You get used to do it very quickly..
