You will find some cable dimensions in the bikes parts lists.

Whether standard cables will fit does depend (to state the perhaps obvious) on whether you have original design h/bar levers. ;)

I carried a spare clutch cable for a couple of years taped to the one in use for 000's of miles around Europe and when I came to fit it back home in the shed, it didn't. :oops:
