Title: Cables
Post by: JamesHorwatt on May 25, 2021, 08:57:06 AM
Morning All, about a year ago I picked up a 71/72 Berkshire out of South Carolina and was told it had a Blackwater 100 History. Its somewhat rough and i would like to keep it that way. Over the winter I rebuild the engine and now I'm getting ready to set it into the frame. The front brake cable and throttle cable are scrap, so I'm looking for better cables...Not new...But "working used ones", in better shape than the current one. Thanks for the help

Thanks Jim

You can have a place like Motion Pro send you the cable and ends (you have to solder the ends on) and use your old housing.

Hey Jim,

I might have some used, functional cables for you.  I have some old Penton cables that came in a box of extras with a bike I bought years ago.  Send me the length of the outer jacket, the length of the inner cable, and if you can a couple photos of the cable ends to: [email protected]
