CB750F throttle cables
« on: August 04, 2006, 07:15:02 PM »
I need a set of throttle cables for a '78 CB750F.  What is the best source and price for these?  Thanks in advance!

I just spent the last couple of days researching this.  Motion Pro (www.motionpro.com) lists them for $14 each.  I've used their clutch cable and had no problems.  My local Honda dealers were pricing OEM replacement throttle cables at $40 each.
