Re: cable broke
if your cable broke 4 inches in from the end, yea get a piece of metal hanger about an inch and jb weld it into the spot the frayed apart, when it dries wrap it in duct tape. It'll hold it together so you can at least ride it to where you need to go.
I have no idea what your talking bout drilling holes in the clutch lever if just the cable broke

Re: cable broke
Had this happen to me on my way to work on my 954...cable snapped at the lever. I pulled the frayed end out, wrapped it around my right pointer finger and found that I could still open the throttle bodies manually. I rested my forearm on my the pad of my db bars for support and was REALLY careful. It was a bit hairy with my -1/+5 gearing in Dallas rush hour traffic, but none of my friends with trucks were answering their phones and my *** had to get to work. Rode about 4 miles that way, but didn't dare ride it home. It was sketchy riding one-handed with abrupt throttle inputs...oh yeah, and my footbrake/handbrake didn't work, so when I wanted to slow down I had to drop the throttle cable and grab the front brake. Good times.
Wait for your new cable or go find a Cycle Gear and go through their box of cables.
