Title: Venhill throttle cables for 550k
Post by: Green1 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. ;)

Post by: Green1 on March 24, 2017, 02:13:23 PM: 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.

Post by: Green1 on March 24, 2017, 02:44:05 PM: 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

Post by: petermigreen on March 24, 2017, 07:16:40 PM: 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.
