WhT a Wise-Ass!
After the recent spat of broken clutch cables reported here, I got a spare to carry on this trip. I feel so secure!

Better to be looking AT something you need rather than looking FOR something you need.

I still have the original new spare cables for the 1969 KAW 500 MACH 3s I sold thousands of those and never sold a clutch cable I m still trying to sell them now that they are antiques and collectable I asked my friends at the Triumph dealer how many clutch cables have they sold for the ROCKET and they said only one for a crashed bike LOL
 

Only because it take several weeks to get OEM.
Ask Barnetts the same question.
 
I don't carry a spare clutch cable but do have spares (as one does) but i do carry a spare accelerator cable (Pull side ) as they have been known to break.

HUH?
OK, I now get it.
Last night I was too tired & burned out after a long & very hot day in the saddle. This morning I re-read & it makes perfect sense, even to this ol fart.

How much you want for the cables ? I'm guessing they are the silver ones ? @IMFASTTOO

Triumph is very interested in the United States ! Without you guys they probably wouldn't be in business . I live around 200 miles from the Hinkley factory and STILL most parts take around 2 weeks to get to me , whereas the local motorcycle accessory superstore has most pattern parts , like cables on the shelf !

Why not try Barnett, clutch cable $60.Probably faster than waiting for triumph an probably a better quality cable.
