Different quality of push/pull and clutch cable metal sleeves?
« on: February 22, 2011, 09:39:00 AM »
I bought new Push & pull cables and a new clutch cable but the metal elbow part corroded and turn rusty so fast. Any recommendations for better quality finishes? I can only seem to find them in "chrome" are black powder coated ones available or anodized? Any lead appreciated...

Most any HONDA dealer will sell you an original............Do not use lubricant with chemical additives........graphite or teflon sprays work best.
