Cables
« on: 27.06. 2011 03:32 »
G'day all,

Wasn't sure where to put this but I've acquired some higher bars for the A10 for some nice highway riding but that now means I need longer throttle, clutch and brake cables.  Anyone know a good place to get them from?

Cheers,
Hubie.

No promises, but try Nick or Pete at Trojan in Belfield, Sydney.

Hi Hubie

I fitted Western bars to my SR and used JJ Cables. The only issue may be postage as he is here in the UK but he does a first class job - his number is (UK) 01926651470.
Whoever you use I would suggest that you remove the cables from the old bars and leave the cables connected at the far end. Fit the new bars, re-route the cables if necessary and then work out how much longer the cables need to be, then send the cables to the supplier and tell them the additional length required. You will then be sure to get the right adjusters and nipples.

Dave,
               Buy some universal cables and make your own, even if you have to use some of the fittings from your existing cables.
That way you will be sure that they are what you want.
