I'm on the GTR parts scrounge again.
« on: September 16, 2014, 12:06:49 PM »
Nothing runs smoothly as we all know, something always jumps out during a motorcycle restoration to shout 'thought I was the right part eh? Well I'm not'. This time it was the GTR clutch cable, I bought this one from someone in the States as a good used item last year, yes it will work but the cable lubricator is not present so won't match the front brake cable lubricator and I never noticed until now.

So if anyone has a GTR clutch cable in good condition that they really don't need to hang onto then please let me know.

Thanks go to RC, Gene, Kevin, Colin and Coxy for helping with the other hard to find parts that I needed recently.

Thanks in anticipation

there was a thread on this exact issue a while back ago, if no good used cable is around, it was described to cut off a lubricator from a old one that is not useable anymore and just re-bend the metal around the cable to attach it where you like it located at. Has been quite a long time ago ( last year sometime) i asked R.C. about clutch cables and he had said at that time he has none available and would check into having some made up again ( repro's ) but do not have the lubricators on these and would need the same 'technique' for attaching a non-working lubricator on them. Hopefully R.C. will read this posting and we can have an answer to clutch cables and where we stand with getting repro's.  bsforever

I'll make one more sweep through my used parts bins to see if I can turn one up.

Thanks guys, I'll just wait a while to see what Kevin comes up with, failing that I'll be in touch Gene.

Anyone else willing to part with a good GTR clutch cable?

Gene expect contact.
