Title: Throttle cable
Post by: Willthedub on December 06, 2014, 11:43:09 AM
I'm going out of my mind trying to find a company that sells custom made throttle cables

Preferably black stainless steel (or other material) braid with black annodised fixings?

Anyone know of a place?

Thanks for the link!

Still no black stainless steel though!

Everywhere seems to do the stainless in silver and the black in vinyl

Doesn't anybody customise these lines in colours like they do brake/clutch lines???!!!!

I don't know if the throttle cable on my ST2 is stock or not, but it looks exactly like a bicycle brake/shifter cable and housing. They're inexpensive and companies like Jagwire have pretty fancy materials and colors. You can easily cut them to size with a dremel or cable cutters.

Just a thought...

The venhill components are what I'm looking for thank you!

The Jagwire is the best I've seen so far just hope it's upto the job,
With a little bit of mix and match I think I can find the look I'm going for.

Thanks again guys!

Glad I could help. The Venhill stuff is good quality, I have used their "build your own" tool in the past for brake and clutch cable, and Chris is a good dude to work with. Here's his email

chris@forwardgear.biz

He handles the U.S Distribution for Venhill products. Pretty sre he can get all the little stainless components (ferrules and such) in black oxide stainless.
