Ended up reaching out to the shop Navigator mentioned since I live within 2hrs of that area. They said they could do it. Going to end up making my own custom throttle cable if no bike shops around here will do it. Thanks for all the info guys.
When you do, you will probably find that the Barrel Ends for bicycles are not the same as the Barrel End at the Throttle Grip.
The Barrel end you see in the picture at the top of this page is the correct "style",....... however, it is too large in diameter and thus will not fit into the Plastic Twist Grip Sleeve receiving hole in the Throttle Grip. The Barrel End at the Throttle Cable Splitter is entirely different shape so see me next Sentence for assistance with all this
When I made my Throttle Cable, I went to a local Hobby Shop that had RC helicopters and such. They had several different Types/Sizes/Styles of Screw-on Cable ends right there, in-stock. Thus, I could find the exact ones I needed by trying them out before purchase.
Be sure your Cable Casing is lined with the Teflon-type/Plastic Inner Sleeve ( not bare wire). Mountain Bike Cables most always have this because of their more rugged/off-road environments they ride in.
And,...very important,..when you are making your cables, be sure to have the Inner Wire extend just past the Screw-on Barrel end a wee bit.
For the Barrel end Screw,. tighten it,...loosen it,...and retighten it WELL with LockTite. This makes from the best possible Holding/Clamping Pressure on the compressible Inner Wire.
And,...for cheap insurance,....then, fray the little Inner Wires that sticks out past the Screw-on Barrel End and bend them over the Screw-on Barrel End This helps prevent the Inner Wire from slipping through the hole in the Screw-on Barrel End.
.......Thank you hillsy,..for confirming what was posted back several days ago;
