Title: Cable vendor?
Post by EJID on 04/09/12 at 09:53:47

Just saw this vendor posted on another MC forum and wondered if anyone had used them before? Also, according to the specs, does anyone know if these "universal" cable kits would have the correct fittings to work on our bikes? :-?

eyeballing both of them they look like they might work. They have the right shapes on the right ends anyways, though the throttle cable might need a second one of those little brass adapters to match the stock carb.

4.4 feet is a looooong cable. I think my cable from barnett clutches was 36" of casing and maybe another 4" or 5" of cable. Tack on another foot and you've got room to spare.

good find. I'd be interested in learning if they really work beyond the eyeball test.

I guess this assumes you re-use the 90º elbows on the ends of the throttle. And that you have the tool you'd need to cut the sheathing without leaving frayed ends that would rub against the cable.
