Title: Honda cb550k1 throttle cables with uk bars
Post by: Ibby4585 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.

The ones that I bought are from wemoto.


Would the cables from a cb500k0 73' fit they are in stock at Silvers?

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

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
