Hi,
Might be of use - had a similar issue with the CJ250t that has a bracket with two plastic coated cable clamps that were badly perished.
Found a work-around using heatshrink and came out OK.

Also needing just a couple of wire ties it seems these are either very pricey or only available in far flung parts of the world so I finally found bare ties from Auto Electric Supplies and then used heatshrink to make a passable version of the original ties.

RIP Peter

Just out of interest for all the people on here who might not know, including myself, which one is Peter?
Peter Williams on the left, Dave Croxford on the right. They were opposite in characters but two talented racers in a golden era of British racing, Peter a quiet talented engineer, Dave more of a James Hunt type.

OK,


I am NOT British I am ENGLISH no matter what my surname is.

The family has 2 Japanese 4 wheelers and i havea few Japanese bike because they are reliable, even if the 18 yr old Mitsi has just had its first gremlin!

I eat Chinese cos it tastes good (without chilies)and have more respect for my anus than to introduce burning spices.

If that makes me a grumpy old fart so be it

 Ok you grumpy old fart ;D  what is your surname ?

 And lets not forget Honda's finest 250, the CB72, it's a pity that Honda did not develop it a little bit more with a five speed box

I'm no fan of the welsh language but I find this sort of thing hilarious,  especially when no one notices.

  Unfortunately i do not speak Welsh just a smattering of words and phrases, but i am proud of the language. Cymru am Byth.

I think Diane Abbott is on the editorial team?

 I thought that politics was banned on this forum as we all have differing views.  :o
