I don't know how to shorten them, but I purchased a 1/8th turn throttle and it was nice, it come with a cable and the end was separate, cut to cable to length and then tighten end with a grub screw.
Gotta luv it, made it possible to custom fit it with no free play in the throttle whatsoever.

Any shop that sells cables should also sell the little knobs on the end of the cable. Cable simply goes thru knob then a touch of solder is put on to stick em together. 20c job cost. Simple as. I wouldnt try to fix unless i had new knob things.( cant think what their proper name is). Hope this helps.
