Anybody know the best way to get a clutch cable and throttle return cable for my XB12X delivered quickly? My local dealership would have to order them but I'm not sure if that's fastest. |

I'm sure any 1 of the sponsors here would be more than happy to help you out. 1 of 'em may even have what you're looking for in stock. If so, a little 'next day air' and you'd be set. |

How quick is quick? Your local dealer could likely get your cable in between 1-3 days depending on how far they are from a warehouse, or they could locate from a surrounding dealer. |

I've checked on American Sport Bike, they don't carry the throttle cable (not that I can see). I guess the thing to do is get an estimate from the local dealership and then see about BWB sponsors. I was hoping quick as in today or tomorrow (bike has been down for a week, almost ready now and I'm jonzin' bad) but I guess that went out the window when the local shop didn't have it. |

Check with our sponsors...I'd start wtih Liberty, Appleton, Ray Price and Bumpus. Not sure who else carries a good stock of Buell parts. It took me 8 dealers when looking for a clutch cable last year. Good luck! (Message edited by Ulywife on January 19, 2009) |

Placed an order with Earl Small's, the local for me. Should be here Thursday. Patience, patience. I am so sick of this stupid car. Thanks for the responses. |

Tom @ Bumpus here. I've got the clutch cable in hand. Idle/Throttle close cable was used on a collision repair last week... In fact that is the only 2 times we've used one of these cables... collision repairs.. hope all is well. Let me know if this helps you out and if I can be of further assistance. T |

Hey thanks, Tom. I've got them on the way now but I appreciate your response. I've driven past your shop in the 'boro many times back before I rode...MTSU alumni here. Funny about the throttle cable...no collision but mine has a pretty nasty cut in it that we discovered when we tore the bike apart to fix a broken stud on the rear cylinder. Seems that not many of them ever fail. The studs are fixed so the cable is all I'm waiting for now. Patience, patience. |

Danbury Harley had one in stock when I bought mine a few months back. |

Order two and you'll have one next time. I try to keep as many spare parts as I can in stock. |
