Long clutch cable

<< < (2/3) > >>

Seabeowner:
I have slightly higher bars on a 500. Can't be much help but can tell you that the UK type sold by DSS is 1.04. The one sold by Andy Cepok (bought on ebay) is 1.04. Also have a original Honda p/n 22870-323-020 (which is for the US spec) that I fitted last week is 1.12m.
Measurements are outer (inc fitgs), so nothing comes close to 1.3m. (+11cm if over inner.)

Genuine clutch cable for 500 K1 is 42" ferule to ferule or 107 cms according to an old post by Ken (Oddjob).

Mike_Berkshire:
I just measured the old one from my US import '76 K2 550 and from ferrule to ferrule end it is 120cm

florence:
I used to frequent a friendly bike shop that let me go round the back and measure cables and find something that would fit.  It was usually something off a motocross bike that would do the job.  Sadly, no longer trading.

Anyway, I think Ted is sending me something so thank you all for your advice.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The clutch cable I had is now re-homed it's about 121.9 cms long so should be a good fit.

It was too good to bin as it had virtually not been used - it was a good 6"-7" too long on my UK 500.
