Throttle cables

[Rickman CR]

Ok, I know our good friends at Z Power are very helpful chaps and offer a 10% discount for members, but ?45 for a pair of throttle cables is a bit steep. I dont mind using pattern types so does anybody know of a cheaper source? My bike is a 1973 model Z1. Are they longer than the A4 cables?

Any views or information appreciated.

I think M&P in Swansea might do em? Wales is good for somink at last!! Tee Hee.

I bought mine from Debben but they are listed under Pattern Parts or Wemoto which I have just checked at ?14.10 + VAT & Delivery each.

As suggested M&P down here in Swansea apparently ?9.99 on their site not sure of the quality for that price though,and I doubt they have them in stock,they list loads of stuff but not much stock, you may be luck though.

Personally I look through the NOS ones at autojumbles for long Suzuki and Kawasaki cables (correct chrome bends opening and closing are slightly different), cut them down to length and solder a nice new brass nipple on the end. but then again I am a tight *******!!!!!!!!!

I will be doing the same thing at the BMF this weekend

Its the longer ones I need for my Z1. Kind member, Mark OC sent me a spare but unfortunately its too short, so I'm swapping it over with my Rickman pull cable which is longer
