So I’m pretty unhappy with Lokar now. I ordered a trans kickdown cable, part number: LOK-KD-2904HT. Well the cable was about 6 inches to short, so I called Lokar. The rep said he had never heard of this before, so he offered to send me some pics to show how to hook it up. I thought, ok better detailed pics, I might have something wrong…. The pictures the rep sent were wrong; the upper half of the cable (the part that should have been hooked to the carb) was going into the trans bell housing! I called back and asked why they had it ran there, and said there is a big *** bolt going through mine in that location. The rep stated that is how it should be ran, and he doesn’t know what else to tell me. So I think Lokar isn’t all that great. I don’t see how such a big company with a reputation for such fine parts would just blow me off like that. So I went to the local bicycle shop, and picked up the proper length of brake cable and housing and made my own cable, using the Lokar ends of course. The kickdown cable is kind of cool, it says Shimano on it.
The first pic is the Lokar example, the second and third is of my new Shimano kickdown.
