Venhill throttle cables for 550k
« on: March 18, 2017, 03:24:13 PM »
Since Throttle cable B is now discontinued for the US spec 550 I will be getting A&B cables made up by Venhill so the bikes can have a matching pair.
If your interested in a set post your interest here so I can get the best price possible.

I'll give you a week before I place an order. The more there are the cheaper they get.  ;)

Well Iv just been quoted £16.83 per set so that's only £8.42 per cable.
I think that's pretty good for stainless steel nylon lined cables.

The quality is spot on I have just had some from them and a kit to make my own up for my cafe racer project.

I fitted one to my Triumph clutch and it totally transformed it. The original was incredibly heavy from new compared to the venhill.

I may even have some made up for the 750 if there's enough interest as that's a pretty good price.
I think I paid over £20 per cable on the 750

Anybody know if these are the same part on the 500? I can't find a parts list for the 550 to check.
If they are, I'd like a set please.

Depends on whether you have U.K. spec bars or those hideous yank things.
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Not bothered about length as I'm possibly changing bars anyway.
Thanks, Peter.
