MK V Leman clutch cable

Hello to all,
having problems with my clutch cable, the cable free length is 150mm, the cable in stock at my local supplier has an  Moto Guzzi LeMans 1000 (88-94) / 10000S Clutch Cable

Inner: 1370 mm, Outer: 1220 mm, thats a free length of 150mm, problem being with this cable the adjuster engine side is fully back, and the handlebar adjuster is fully backed out, to increase the cable outer length by 40 mm, it seems to me the inner is too long by at least 20 mm, if it was 20mm shorter i would be able to screw the adjuster into the lever perch, rather than it just butting up to the perch at the moment, cables for the MK 1,2,3 have a free length of 92 mm and would be too short, i did notice a perch adjuster that looked much longer than mine which has 17mm of adjustment, the actuating[engine side] lever feels to be adjusted correctly with just a little free play, will have to solder a new nipple on i guess which can be a problem with clutch cables, i may even send it off to be professionally done,

could this be the adjuster i need at the handle bar end? looks to be a good 2cm longer than my current one, its for  a Tommaselli clutch lever clamp, for fitment to LM1 /2

There's another adjustment on the clutch arm on the back of the transmission.

That adjuster probably won't work - it's for older clutch lever assemblies with an adjuster nut built into the perch, vs. a jam nut on the adjuster screw itself.

Like Charlie says, adjust the arm on the back of the transmission so it is closer.

With the original having the same free play as the new one, I don't understand why there's a problem.
