I just got this from Sirius (via ebay) and my tech says it's not ... let me know what y'all think? I'm looking for the "short bar" clutch cable.

Maybe this is the one without the plastic housing?

That company has had a lot of parts for the VJ bikes reproduced but most are close but not correct. That is one of them. ..........lm

What bike are working on? CA77-CB77-CL77? I bought cables on ebay from "ibuyisell" for clutch on my CA77. They were long so I shortenend them. Had chrome elbow on them also.

Yeah I'm working on a '65 CB77. Drat, I guess I'll keep looking.

I contacted Sirius, who said they will promptly refund the money I spent without having me send them back the cable ... we'll see if that works out.

In the meantime, curious to know how easy or difficult it would be to shorten an existing longer clutch cable? Right now the bike has the longer cable on there, but with the short bars it sticks out about a foot. I'm going to cross-post this to another area of the forum, btw. Thanks in advance!
