Shovelhead cables

[budbombpipe]

I need a clutch cable & throttle cable for me shovel, trouble is i'm havin findin any in the lengths i need (allthough they don't seem that long to me) Does anyone know where i can get some made in braided? Or failing that, when you order some what measurements do you take? ie. length from nipple to nipple or just the outer? thanks

if you really wanna be a cheapskate....

for throttle go to Brit bike specialist and ask for oversize Doherty cables and the little screw-on nipples. Add a dash of solder for security. Done this with my 18in apes for years - total cost less than £20 as against £70 from CCI etc for really long ones

for clutch you are sort of tied to the aftermarket. all the big catalogues do over-size. just use string to mimic the angle of the dangle for measuring length...

Tried Venhill but they don't do Harleys at the moment.
Tried to order from cci but abit confused as to where you take measurements from, nipple to nipple or just outer cable. Anyone know? ta

nipple to nipple is fine........and you have an inch or three to ''play with'' through various routings around tank/s and frame, plus the adjuster

Got sorted now thanks, those nice people (nick & ange) at Cycle Haven have sorted me out.

Thanks everyone for advice though.
