    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...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Try bikebandit.com . They typically carry OEM parts. I would suggest using OEM only because I went with an aftermarket cable and it lasted 3 months. The OEM part was only a couple $'s more. Both were less than $15.

I've been buying all my cables from http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/
They're aftermarket, but I have had good luck with them. After replacing cables on the 1150 when I got it 3+ years ago with cables from CRC, I have not replaced any and they are still fine.

The only listing on that site that I saw was for a GS850G 80-81. Sence mine is a 79 will that cable work? Thanks in advance.
 
I tend to think that if that cable would work, it would be listed. If its too short, it will not work at all. If too long, possibly. However, I would just phone them as tell them what you needed.

I looked at bikebandit and they do show a aftermarket cable for a 79 850G.

that is probably a glitch with their list, the only differences that I know of between the 79 and 80-81 850 is the brakes, head, (bigger intake ports) carbs (CV for 80) and ignition, the clutch lever and actuation arm should be the same.
hmm I just checked and the factory part numbers are differant, interesting, I wonder what the differance could be?
 
Hey great thanks for the link. Funny I looked on bikebandit already before I even posted and did not find a listing for them. Anyway thanks a million. My speedo cable has been broken for about a year so I went ahead and ordered that one as well. On ebay they wanted 25 bucks for the speedo cable and I just bought it for 10 bucks ha ha haaa I love it. Thanks agan
