Custom Cables?

Post by DianneB » Sat Feb 27, 2016 5:32 pm

I am putting mini ape hangers on my 67 Honda Dream and need new front brake, throttle, and clutch cables (9" over stock). The throttle cable will also have a non-Honda barrel on the top end.

Have any of you had good luck (or bad) with any particular supplier of new/custom cables?

Already sent the details to Motion Pro but wondering who else I should contact (and who to stay away from).

Thanks gang!

I may be wrong but I though I remembered LOUD MOUSE being able to make replacement cables in a post a long time ago. (Is that true Ed?) As far as the barrel ends, .22 caliber (or whatever size you need) brass casings can be cut, drilled, and soldered onto the end of the cable. I was on a tight budget and adapted a bicycle derailleur cable to work as a throttle cable a while back.
