Longer throttle cable

[richgilb]

Local bike mechanic said he did not have the type required for my 2003 ec 200?

Whatever, anyone know where I can go to get one in UK maybe 6 inches longer than standard? I have stacked the front end with higher bars and used all the bar riser plates possible. I have rerouted the cable but it still pulls on tight turns.

Venhill do cable kits. The carb end nipple is already fitted, so all you do is cut to length and solder the correct nipple for the throttle end. http://www.venhill.co.uk/Cables_-_Components_Kits/Universal_Cable_Kits I've used them before and they are good quality. Check that the kit includes all you need, as I had to order a couple of extra small parts.

Just as and add to for future ref.

On earlier twist top carb bikes the motion pro 10-3000 can work but here's my take. Just fitted one and to avoid a tight bend onto the under of tank to carb, I removed the carb end locknut and screwed it fully home. I also added some sealer goob and a cable tie on the rubber fitting as Jake suggested.

This makes the bend agreeable. But then there is too much free play so using a maap torch heated the nipple and moved it about 12mm down. Either side, I did throttle end. Then I melted some plumbing solder (not normal 60/40 electrical) into a puddle in a piece of metal, a spot of flux and plunged it in so it flowed all over then removed and held still for quite some time.

Dress end on a grinder carefully holding cable and jobs a goodun.
