+ | 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. \\ | ||

The Bendix uses a solid wire and the Mikuni needs a flexible braid cable. \\ | The Bendix uses a solid wire and the Mikuni needs a flexible braid cable. \\ |
