    Hello everyone,

    I went to take the bike for a ride yesterday and noticed something funny happened to where my throttle cable meets the handlebars via the plastic L shaped "thingy." That thingy broke and I'm not really sure how. Does anyone know If I can buy a replacement piece? How hard is the install?

    Since I have recently added drag bars, am I better off ordering a new cable? Thanks in advance for the help everyone

    (PS, disregard the silly skull grips, they were the only thing available at the time :p )

    Gonna have to buy a whole cable. PM or email member Chacal and he'll fix you right up. You'll have a new one in about 3 days.
    It's not hard to change. You'll probably have to remove the tank so you can see how the cable is routed. Take out the 2 screws in the throttle grip and away you go.
