Source for Lined Cables for old Hondas?
« on: January 21, 2006, 09:58:35 PM »
Do any of you have a source for supplying quality lined control cables in with gray casings?
I considered ordering components from Flanders in CA but ready made would be nice if they are available. Right now I could really use a complete set for my CB350 K4

Tired of lubing the old school OEM spiral steel deals.

www.oldbikebarn.com looks like they have all the cable for that CB.

I ordered cables from olde byke barn, it took a couple of months to get the cables. I also ordered some shocks and they sent the wrong ones (despite assurances they knew the bike and had correct parts) and I am still waiting for that order to be resolved. They don't answer my emails, not a good business practice for a web-based ordering system. I have about given up on them and certainly wouldn't suggest ordering from them.

I ordered from them in December and recived a complete order in 9 business days. Have you considered calling them instead of email?? It is an 800 number.
