Ive found the handlebars on my 09 fz6 are just too short, and when i got it, the right was bent. more than an hour of riding puts my right shoulder through hell. i will be commuting heavily soon, so i grabbed some bars off of my 1980 xj650 that has electrical problems. they are about 3 inches taller and a bit wider. everything had enough slack to fit except the throttle, and it leaves an inch on the end of the bars. anyhting i can do to get some slack or any easy mods i can do to make the cable longer. i have a full shop at my disposal but not a lot of cash. i can do all work myself.

Narrowing the bars some should help with the cable issue.

I'd cut them down to what the stock FZ bars are to start and see if the cables fit.

There's really no other way to route the throttle cables..
