Will stock throttle cable work with a new throttle assembly?

As I was riding on Friday (before sliding) the bike handled very well. Not only was I able to comfortably do 65, but the bike felt stable. The Enforcer I had was squirmy at speed; I felt pretty uncomfortable going past 45 mph. This bike feels very different. It can handle the roads better. It showed 115kph and I had it tapped out full throttle. It needs more power, especially at the high end. Even the low end grunt could be improved. But then again, I had also just come off an hour long ride with the 80hp, Magna 750. That bike handled beautifully. It was like a caddy in comparison. I loved it.

I want to use this time to replace my clutch lever, handlebar, and throttle. I want to get the throttle that’s an upgrade for dirt bikes. I think some call it a roller throttle. It’s supposed to be smoother. Thoughts on whether the stock throttle cable will be the right length with that? The David Draper YouTube video with the db36 showed that he had to lengthen the stock cable. Couldn’t I also just buy one of the corrrct size? And I hate the mirrors. I want to replace those with a low profile mirror.

Recommendations for a handlebar, cliched lever, and throttle?
