homer382 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hey all. I want to put a set of 16" ape hangers on my xvs650 and was just wondering if anyone out there can tell me where I can get a set of control cables made or where I can get a universal kit from? would prefer to buy in the U.K but if anyone knows of a cheaper option abroad I would go further afield.. would prefer stainless steel.

Ttaskmaster Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Just about anywhere that offers braided cables should be able to make you up a really nice set. Thing is, you either go for cheap, or for good. The two are rarely good friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 You can buy the bowden inner and outer casings to make up your own, alternatively these people are available http://www.venhill.co.uk/About_us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russbiker Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 A tip, the barrel nipple that fits in to the throttle tube may need the outside edge filing off a little so it fits correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
