Anyone know a good source to get good new throttle cables for a 75-76 cb400f.  I have a cb350f and adding a light clubman bars on it and I read on the forums to use the 75-76 cb400f cables cause they have the shorter length that accompany the clubman bars.

4 into 1 sells these

What I have read is that cheap cables aren't teflon linned like the factories so does anyone know where to find some good new throttle cables for a cb400f?

thanks

james

Just use the motion pro, for the price the throttle cables don't feel marginally better. The clutch on the other hand...

Either way when you put them on lube them up really good, a lot of people assume you don't need to lube a new cable
