    NICHE Clutch Cable?

    Does anyone have any experience using the following cable:

    NICHE Clutch Cable for Suzuki GS650E GS650G GS650GL GS650GT 58200-34X00 803467107462 | eBay​

    My local shop can only order the Motion Pro replacement, which I've seen is an inferior product. Is the NICHE one better or worse? Anyone know where I can find an OEM cable for an '81 Suzuki GS650e? Part no. 58200-34X00



    Thanks

    Never heard of them. Probably just another generic similar to Motion Pro. If you can find a Suzuki one it will be better....

      I have ordered parts from Niche cycle, and used cables from Motion Pro. They are just up the road from me & can make cables custom by length, or other. I had them make a speedo cable that was GSXR on the bottom and GS on the top. Ready in a couple of days. Never used their clutch cable though. Sorry.

        Just a tip - don't remove old cable until you've routed the new one next to it.

            Update - part received and installed with no issues. If I have any issues with it I'll update further.

              I've gotten 2 or 3 things from Niche and was happy. Chains I think. No whips. Hey, it's a niche. But seriously folks, I think they are good value lower end.

                When I ran a Yamaha Parts Department, the dealership was purchased with around 300 old cables. I matched so many used cables to the old stock, few were left by the time I left. I would have people bring in their old cable, both pieces, if it broke, and match them to the ones I had hanging vertically on a wall. Yamaha had many redundant cables. They actually had a program where you would send in what cables matched, it improved you standing with Yamaha, and your dealership ranked higher, which meant you got the hard to find bikes, and better shipping on parts.

                  I've used both without any issues. They are a wear item.
