Recheck the routing, cable reach and adjustment before riding. Honda requires smooth opening and automatic full closing at every steering position. A different handlebar or trapped cable can create a problem that a model-year match alone will not reveal.
Do not assume interchange. The two cables have separate functions and references. Match each cable’s ends, adjusters and installed route to its own position.
