For 28mm carbs people usually use a modded standard cable
If you want twin cables look at something like a domino throttle

The standard cable is for 26mm carbs so it will manage 28mm travel
Only slight problem is when using 45 degree elbows it is slightly short so slides don't quite close
Run an m6 x 1.0 die down the elbow another couple of mm or trim the outer or the adjuster and problem solved

Cables directly into the carbs (Smoother curve) Instant 'fix' and the cable friction is even less. |

I found the throttle cable a little too short on my hybrid with handlebar raisers, so I took the junction box apart and made a new, 60mm longer cable to replace the front, single cable. I've had a lot of bikes for which you can't get a ready made cable, so I have the inner and outer cables and all the fittings already.
