 ====== Throttle Cable ======
+This is IronMick's drawing of a new throttle cable made for the Mikuni VM38-9 on a 1978 with stock low buckhorn handlebars. \\
+The universal cable made by Barnett for this application is Barnett part number 101-31-30901. \\
+It is described as a 38" cable, and is about 4" too long for this bike setup so a new one was made. \\
+<blockquote>I do not understand how they calculate cable length but this must be a 34" cable as it is 4" shorter than the 38".
+Here is the spec diagram for the 4" shorter throttle cable; if you need to get one special made you can use this as a guide.</blockquote> ((IronMick)) \\
+Note that the two 90° fittings are not the same. The one to the right is for the carb, the one to the left is for the throttle at the handlebar. \\

 There are a couple of things you will have to consider regarding a Mikuni installation. First is the throttle control. ((piniongear of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=938090&page=3)) \\
 The Bendix uses a solid wire and the Mikuni needs a flexible braid cable. \\
