HAVE PEOPLE GONE MENTAL
AshimotoK0:
F it, I am rising to the challenge, taking the bait, blah, blah, blah. :) I am going to get that bracket onto CAD and laser cut and make a few. Then I'll tackle the wire thingy and then the wiring guide. May take a few weeks though as I am mega busy at work at the 'mo. I am not sure I have the wiring guide with the PVC coating on it, on my bike, so may need your help guys plus I need to get some PVC black dip from a mate of mine. Not sure if the grommet is still available but I know someone who will mould it, who is a rubber moulder in Hull and a Honda Cafe guy, so one of us. Going to check with David Silver first though that hes not got them in the pipeline. Quality Chrome guys son works with me so will tap him up for the chroming. Will get my chemist mate to analyse the grommet rubber and my metalurgist mate to tell me the grade of steel for the 3 parts. With all these favours can feel the floodgates opening on fixing cracked screen Iphones ... GRRRR. ::)
BTW playing with a micro spot-welder for my own business this week.. bl**dy brilliant. Although had to replace Chinese mains fuse from 5A to 13A (it says on the back current 220-240 VAC 2-15A). Dims the office lights when you weld with it though ::) . Made my own SS leadscrew by wrapping 0.4 mm SS wire around a 1mm bar and micro spot welding the wire at either end. Going to tackle those clock bands next with it!
UPDATE : emailed DSS
Cheers ...AshD

That sounds worthwhile. The circular grommet in the clutch cable guide is plastic, btw, not rubber. I'd just warn that all that tooling up may be a waste of effort, because you have to consider your customer base.
I've noticed that the people who bid on these little clips and guides I sell are all the same buyers. I have a shrewd feeling that there may not actually be that many people in the market for them. In other words, you may find yourself only selling maybe a couple of dozen.
The lifting handles was a different thing - absolutely everyone took them off back in the day, because they fitted carriers to the back of the bike. The clips and guides get lost because people get forgetful, which isn't quite as common an event.

As bike-pusher says the inner ring is plastic.
I have a XL 500S with 2 similar cable guides. see www.cmsnl.com steering head item 3 & 4. The inner plastic cable guide is available part No. 45466-239-000 (3 euros)....Alan
bike-pusher:
Interesting. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the metal clip itself isn't used on another model....
AshimotoK0:
Not really after selling them, not my game !. Just rising to the challenge and I am getting loads of stuff laser cut anyway for my job. I need the wiring loom guide thingy pic attached, anyway and no way am I paying bidding war prices for one ... out of stubborn principle!
Cheers .. Ash
