Re: Throttle cable problem
Do you have an local shop that builds vw dune buggys?
I had the local sand rail shop replaced the rusty one
on my vw trike when I got it. So far, it has lasted for 6 years.
Glad you brought this up, I need to find an extra just in case
for the trip this summer.
Re: Throttle cable problem
It sounds like the set screw is cutting through the cable. A stock VW cable is solid on that end. I've made cables with a solid end by wrapping the cable end with some fine copper wire and then heating it and running solder into it. It can be filed down to the size to fit the hole in the barrel.ThumbUp
Re: Throttle cable problem
Measure your length of cable needed (and sheathing which should be somewhat shorter). Take your measurements to most any bicycle shop and they can make you a cable to your specs that will have the barrel needed swaged on permanently.

I use the 120" cabl on this page. You will need your current fittings to mate it to the Harley controls.

Good stuff right there! Thanks for sharing with everyone man.
I currently have an air throttle, which works pretty well but I am not getting 100% throttle. Not sure if the throw is too much or what. I am thinking about going to a twist grip type throttle and that link might just be the ticket I am looking for.
