Throttle Cable Issue Sorted For Good

[Sig 440]

After many attempts to get the throttle cable working well due to the angle you have to clear the back off the valve cover. I finally have come up with a solution that works a treat.
Went to my local motorcycle shop and went countless cables till I found what I wanted.
Have a look at the photos and tell me what you think
Small amount of modifications to the pedal.
Now I have a nice a smooth radius coming out of the firewall and heaps of clearance to the valve cover.

if it works i guess its cool.. never had any issues with a simple lokar set up though.

The fact that is has the curve built right in is an absolute benefit. That is an excellent custom fix.

Do you know what motorcycle the cable was off of originally?

Unfortunately there was a pile of them with no tags on them and just was told to go my hardest.
But the parts guy seems to think it maybe a Honda vf1000 or a Kawasaki cable
I have done a bit of research and come up with these numbers worth a look
If I find out exactly what it is I will let you know.
Honda Number is 17910-mj4-000
Kawasaki Number 54012-1008

His might be different since it's right hand drive. I like it! Nice work!

Wow, and the price is right.

I used a Lokar cable assembly , using the petal assembly as you did I tack welded the washer on it and drilled out the hole to accept the end of the Lokar cable . On the carb. end you just cut and fit to the correct length . I can add pic's if wanted for you .
