I am putting a set of bars and stainless cables on my 98 FLHRCI. I bought LA choppers bars and a set of matching stainless cables that are also LA Choppers. When I started to install them this afternoon I noticed that the throttle cables do not match the OEM ones. One of the new lines fits correctly but the other one has a split in the middle and a place to plug in a electrical plug. I'm thinking it mite still work but would like to be sure. Any suggestions?

 

Got a picture?????

Why would there be an electrical plug in a throttle cable????????

 

This is the one that I am questioning

 

When I google the part number on the package it says for. Idle Cable 96-07 FLHTC and FLHX non ABS

 

It'll still work. That's a shut off for the cruise control option if you had it.

 

Thanks. I figured it would work but didn't want to F... it up and not be able to return.

I should have read my manual before I started because I haven't changed a clutch cable before either and now I have the hole bike apart and not sure I would have tackled that project if I would have checked first.

 

It's not that big of a deal. Get a new clutch cover gasket, and take your time. Make sure you don't lose any of the bearings. They tend to hit the floor running and disappear.

 

I'll get to it later this week. I just need a few days to get my courage up... I mean get prepared.
