Sorry in advance... if there is a thread about this I couldn’t find it.... I’m in the process of upgrading the butterfly carb to cv40 on my 89 flhtcu and need to know what throttle cables to use...

Not sure what changed but the part numbers are different from 89 to 90.
A quick call to Barnett will get you what you need.

The first time you open the throttle on the bike with the new carb, you are going to wonder why you didn`t do it in 1990...
Best performance upgrade you can do on an `89 or earlier Evo.
