Roadhawk Throttle cable
When we had the Runabout, Dick got us an extra throttle cable. Was great peace o mind, as a person couldn't just pick one up for the trike at the local motorcycle shop. Now that we have a Road Hawk, Gloria was asking about a spare for this trike, too. Are throttle cables available out of Minnesota or should I try Daytona?
Thanks,

I've had a lot of trouble getting any co operation out of the trike shop. If your cable sheath is good, get a length of 1/16th. stainless steel aircraft cable and make up your own. A couple of years ago mine got water in it and froze up. If you use stainless cable you'll have to silver braze the end on.
On four or three, it's me.:wave4:
It's not that the cable is bad, although it is a bit stiff and most likely needs to be cleaned and lubed. We had an extra that lived in the trunk of our Runabout and Gloria likes the peace of mind having an extra cable available for the Roadhawk "just in case".

Ozarkryder - we have the cables in stock at our MN location. Easy enough to give us a ring at 800-331-0705 and ask for Marvin. He can take care of getting a spare cable sent out. You have two options on cables: just the inner (steel) cable $11.00 or a complete cable with exterior sheathing for $29.40. Both prices do not include any applicable tax or shipping charges.Originally Posted by Ozarkryder
All of us at Roadsmith appreciate your business!
Nice! I found a 15' cable/sheath on line from a trike outfit that makes VW trikes in the Big Daddy Roth style for $79.99.The better deal was a kit from England - 10 metres with hardware to make 4 or 5 regular length cables for about $60, depending on exchange rates. I could get 2 cables for the trike out of this one.
The best choice is a cable and sheath actually made for the trike.Looks like I'll be calling Minnesota again!

Runabout parts
I was wondering if you have a listing of all the parts still available? I have a 2006 Runabout ( I thought it was a Roadhawk when I bought it ) and I would love to be able to get spare and or replacement parts for it. I really would like to replace the cracked tail lights.
Thank you,
Mike
Hey Mike - some things we have in stock still, and some items we can source. We have a couple rooms full of parts, but they are not cataloged. Best way to find what we have is to send a request to marv@roadsmithtrikes.com and he can research and get back to you. Pictures of what you are replacing/needing will help also.

Well I mis stated the year it is actually a 94 so I'm not sure if you would have parts for that being as old as it is, the biggest thing I want to get is a set of tail lights mine have several cracks, other things would mainly be for cosmetic reasons
