      There are basically only two things to consider

      1- Cable routing. If you have kinks and twists, the cable will bind.

      2-Full lubrication. Let oil drip through the cable until it runs out the other end, or use a nozzle that permits oil to be forced into the sheath.



      If you want the most strength, keep the sheath and make your own cable, using galvanized aircraft wire/cable. !/16 inch cable will let you pick up the entire bike and shake it, which makes a good show for the women, and builds strong wrists.

        Original R/R, stator, petcock, clutch, all cables including speedometer & tachometer, & seat cover. I don't even remember having to replace a headlight bulb, although I replaced one with a Osram Silverstar as an upgrade. Never had a flat on this bike (since 1980). I have some mostly new replacements in case I should need one.
        You're screwed now buddy!


        I know you have lots of wood up there to knock on!
