I need a kit to make cables

[Larry S]

The title says it all. I have four Hodakas. Three are dirt bikes. The fourth is a Ace 100B that has evolved into being a road bike. I never ride it in the dirt so I decided to make it into a pure road bike; street bars,low pipe, K-70 tires.

I replaced the original dirt bars with street bars from my parts stash. The old bars have a nine inch rise. The new bars have a six inch rise. With the new bars my cables are too long. I could shorten them but they are old and cracked. I would rather make new ones.

You might try Barnett, the clutch and cable folks. I just looked at their catalog online and they still sell housing and inner cable and all the ferules and fittings. I made quite a few cables using their components in the '70s and 80s, Barnett parts were always very good quality.

Here's the catalog url.

Something I'm in the market for. My "2 the Max" speed/roadracer project has clip-on bars. I have three new Hodaka cables that I was going to shorten. Something I've been avoiding, ha ha. Maybe it's time to consider custom cables or kits. Thanks for reminding me Larry! Max

I checked out Barnett and couldn't find anything for the hobby guy.I went on Amazon and found two kits by Venhill. One for throttle cables(VKW003) for about $45 and another for clutch/brake cables (VWK002) four about $60. The kit has 15 ft of cable and casing and a variety of fittings. I'm going to order the VWK002 kit. I will post a review of the kit after it arrives.
