Honda cb550k1 throttle cables with uk bars
« on: November 24, 2020, 04:56:06 PM »
Could anyone tell me a source to get correct cables for my project that don't cost the earth. Cmsnl want £33 for pull and £28 for a pull cable. Silvers only has a pull cable in stock and I've just bought a set on Ebay listed for a 550 and they are incorrect.

Any info would be great.

I'm in the UK.

I had the same issue - ordered ones from 4into1 (us). But they does not fit properly, wrong length of cable vs sleeve (bowden). Finally got used old ones from CB550F that fits perfect
CB750K7 US model (1977)
CB550K1 US model (1975)

Will have a hunt about.

Thats my exact problem, the inner cable  length is too long.

What about having the cable shortened? - https://www.carrotcycles.co.uk/custom-made-cables.html - probably expensive
or Wemoto - https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/cb_500_(four)_k2/73 - think they give dimensions on the item discription

I checked the 500.

At Wemoto.

You need to send them back with an explanatory letter
