Clutch cable problem

[DodahMan]

Behind the top tree is always a good option if you don't want to buy a new cable. I had issues with my brake line as well so I had to put it behind the tree. If you are handy.... I drilled and tapped the tree on each side and made some neat little guides like my Valkyrie use to have mounted on it. I used some stainless plain welding rod. I put one on each side just in case I had to run a shorter spare clutch cable I carry. My brake line is run through the one on the right side (not shown with the cable running through).

Very nice engineering! Triumph needs to hire you.

You're a handy chappie to have next door. Wanna move over here?.

Not likely...as that would involve shipping my Rocket. I'm just an old man with way too much time on his hands.

I ordered the Barnett cable +1.5".

Also, I noted that the dots do not line up the way an OCD person would like them to -- must be half a dot one way or the other.

@warp9.9 told me which way to bias it, but I don't remember.

I'm hoping I too will be writing one day, "60,000 km and no problems"

Just FYI -
I had done 99,779.33 km on my OEM cables, when I changed them out to extended Barnett for my new bars.

A SKILLED OLD MAN though. This makes a huge difference. But we NEED an inventor. I am reasonably skilled with a a lathe and mill - neighbour is really skilled with a welder and a more than passable painter. We need a small fabricator to make us fully autonomous.

I already have a project for you guys . . . a complete refab of the R3T sidemount rails for the floorboard relocation. Lower and more forward.

Never lower, only higher.

Knees to the nostrils!

No lower than a Potato, or higher than a Tomato
