Thanks! I suppose I should ask on the American forum as well, since UK suppliers probably cost too much to ship. I see there's a Venhill-USA site...

I just heard back from Venhill-USA making up a clutch cable...

Plus shipping, I imagine? Yikes... Bryan's suggestion of changing bars instead is looking better and better...

On browsing old posts I notice a site member once fitted one to their bike. Coincidence?

I managed to miss this earlier... interesting rig. Does it attach to the handlebar lever?
I think before I do anything drastic, I'm going to finish what I started and get to the point where I've got fresh oil and am running the engine to circulate it properly - make sure the entire clutch is freshly lubricated and see how it feels...

It fits next to clutch lever to left of speedo. Gives lighter clutch but less cable pull. I removed it as with my clutch it made it more difficult to select neutral due to slight clutch drag. Really it is curing the symptom rather than the cause.

Motion Pro just supplied a very rough estimate of between $125 and $175 for a one-off cable - not including shipping and tax...
Bryanj:
Now years back in UK you could buy cable inner, outer and brass end fittings to make your own. Would you like me to see if i can get the stuff and ship to you?
