    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

1100 clutch cable

Hi guys, anyone happen to know if a clutch cable from an 82 750e would work on my 83 1100e? I ordered one for it already but it won't be here until next week. I have a swap meet I was planning on riding to on Sunday. My cable is starting to "fray" and I am looking for a temp. fix.
Thanks guys,
Trevor
 
Trevor,
That's an awful lot of work to break the 750 to fix the 1100 to take it to a swap meet.
Perhaps I can save you some grief, they have different part numbers if that's any indication. Don't know what's different, but different they are, could be the length I'm thinking.

Its just my 1982 750 parts bike.:)
 
Alpha sports doesn't list it in their cross reference guide. Totally different number than the 750. I could see if Murray has one but that's kind of an expensive way to do it if you have one ordered ?

It may work, I do believe your bars are shorter on your 1100 than my stock bars are on my 1100.
I broke a clutch cable on my 1100, the cable was kinked (even though I straightened it out) where it goes through that clip on the carbs, it broke internally, usually they break on either one of the terminal ends. But it began stretching before it broke, I couldn't figure it out, so I kept adjusting the cable, and when I went to ride it one day, it broke just as I was getting ready to pull out of my driveway. Lucky me.

Thanks Garth, I ordered one. Oh well if it doesn't work I will just take my old old 750 lol. Problems we have eh?
 
It will work just might be a tad long , you may have to route it differently but it will work
