    Also seen on ebay for about the same price, $13.98 with free shipping. Bought one for my bike, was really nice quality. I've bought several items from this guy and have been extremely satisfied every time.

      I had ordered a Motion Pro clutch cable once when my stock cable just would not adjust any longer. The stock cable was 26 years old. I installed the Motion Pro cable, everything was fine, thing is I only got 4 years out of it. The cable strands are no where near as heavy as the stock ones. I was fixing to leave for a rally close to me in the mountains when I pulled in the clutch and noticed only 3 strands on the cable were left. The others had broken. Great there goes my Rally that weekend...you get what you pay for. I have a new stock clutch cable again...

        Has anyone else had a similar issue with these? I always carry a backup clutch and throtle cable so as not to be left "STRANDED"...pun intended.

          i put the 10% stiffer spring in my 850...ive broke one cable so far..was gettin ready to stop an bam it went...rode home without a clutch...luckly i had another stock one on hand...its still going strong..

          id wish i could find a heavy duty cable...but might have to use both hands to pull it in then...everyone is in awe when they go to pull my clutch in....but i LOVE it

            No problems with motion pro here.
            Think im going on 2 or 3 years, with EBC springs.
            The clutch is like Harley-tight...im surprised the cable hasn't snapped yet.

              Do what a lot of us do, if you use the after market heavier springs, so you don't end up with one popeye arm, only use 3 of the new springs mixed with the old ones, stagger them ever other one.

              Thats how mine feels, I have new springs as well, if mine last 3-5 years, I'm ok with that, and I have a good used oem one with me at all times anyway.

                Why would anyone buy an aftermarket cable of a lesser quality when you can get a superior OEM cable for only a couple dollars more. I don't get it.

                  Didn't know it was inferior at the time of purchase, if it fails prematurely, I won't replace it with the same, but go back to oem, I figured they were all the same and tried to save a few $$ at the time. I don't think anyone intentionally buys a lesser quality anything, kind of a silly comment.

                  It was mostly a purchase of convenience, I was buying other things via ebay and it made a one stop shop easy with fast shipping as mine had just broke and needed one fast. Got it in 2 days, but would have gladly waited, if I suspected poor quality, they had good reviews from other buyers at the time.

                    Dont know what Harleys you've been riding but mine is just as easy as any, maybe easier.

                    I agree with the aftermarket clutch cables. Not much cable there.
