Author Message   Dwilson357 Posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - 08:56 am:        Does anyone know of any alternatives for the throttle cables? 50 a pop does not sit well with me!!! That seems insane for what they are lol. I did some searching but haven't had any luck there so chances are this is a dead end. Thanks Dave W.   Pash Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2014 - 04:51 pm:        Why don't you fit new inners?   Nillaice Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2014 - 07:22 pm:        I used some new cabling and smelted on my own barrel ends. Flanders can sell you everything you'll need, but I had better and stronger results using some 'aluma-weld' for the barrel ends instead of lead, silver and/or tin solder. I posted this all in a thread last year or so ...   Nillaice Posted on Friday, April 25, 2014 - 01:32 pm:        Yup http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/711543.html?1368109734   Ducbsa Posted on Friday, April 25, 2014 - 07:29 pm:        Nilla, did you spread out the wires before final soldering? That makes for a stronger joint.   Ducbsa Posted on Friday, April 25, 2014 - 07:40 pm:        Here is a page from a Jeff Clew book:   Dwilson357 Posted on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - 11:10 am:        I have a couple of those clamp type ends. I'm not against using them on the throttle body side. Right now i have to figure out what size wire..I would guess its 1.5mm but if someone could verify for me. I would check myself but it will be raining here the next few days and I'm stored outside right now. What diameters are the ends as well? I noticed the posted thread for making your own end didn't have alot of specifics. Again I'd normally just go take a measurement myself but I don't own any snorkeling gear. Thanks, fellas.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - 02:34 pm:        I have to replace both of the inner cables from my 04 xb 12s at the moment to. the inner cable is 1,25 mm and the barrels are 6mm in diameter. i would use the clamp type only for a road repair or so ,but not all the time!   Dwilson357 Posted on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - 06:00 pm:        Wonderful thanks alot! I will some stuff on order!
