The throttle cable I have always had had a frayed cable, so I replaced it a couple years ago after measuring it up for a slightly shorter one, as that one was always a bit too loopy and I thought had come from a US bar setup. I ordered a Venhill N01-4-109, as that is the cable that showed for a Mk2 with UK bars on their website at the time I ordered. Turns out, it is a MK3 cable, with a bend in the tube at the throttle end. The cable has a ~2.5" free length.
All good and fine and worked great until now with my alloy tank, but it binds on the front of my Interstate tank I have just installed when routed along the left side of the spine, and I dont want to mar the paint over time. Routing the cable on the right side of the spine tube causes the cable to bind and idle fast when not in a neutral/left turn position.
So, I also have what appears to be a 06-1451 cable in my spares, which has the same outer length, but no metal tube and I thought that might work better. But, after installing I find it has a much longer free length and I cannot take up the slack.
Looking at the AN site, I see that I have never had a Cable Stop -02-6476.
Can someone give me a measurement to see what the length of the shoulder is so I can determine whether or not it will take up the slack on my cable? It does not look long enough to me to make up the advertised 7/8" difference?
thanks in advance.
