Long clutch cable

(1/3) > >>

florence:
Does anyone know if there is a Honda clutch cable which would fit 500/4 but is about 1.3m in length?  The cable on mine has gone a bit sticky and I cannot remember what I used, it was so long ago.  Might have been XL500?

I was hoping not to have to take it off so I can carry on riding until a new cable is ordered.  ;D

JamesH:
Wemoto sell a universal clutch cable ‘kit’ that you can use to make the exact length you need. I used it on the Cb750 chipper project.

mickwinf:
I have a new one that was far too long for my standard handlebar 500, I can measure it for length

florence:
thank you both

Mike_Berkshire:
Looks like you have a solution but something that may be helpful if not is that the US spec CB550 cables and upper brake pipes are longer for the higher US type handlebars. I fitted UK flat bars and without thinking it through ordered an upper brake pipe from DS for my (US import) bike that was way too long.
