Very LONG Cables?
« on: March 23, 2025, 05:47:44 AM »
Looking through my shelves not long ago and stumble on a very long, new set of cb750 style throttle and clutch cables. American made and I suspect for a really high set of bars or a chopper build. I can measure them up and post pictures if anyone needs them for their project?

I also have a new set, maybe 2 sets. For 12" or maybe 14" bars. They were too long on the 10" bars that were on my K5 when I got it 7 years ago.

I have a set of those, too...
They used to be valuable! :D
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

I could use a set of those for my ‘83 goldwing with apes.  The arthritis in my neck requires special fine tuning of my seating position for relief!  I should go measure to see what size might be best.
