Default Clutch cable

Hello all. I've been busy working on an unexpected home project while I striped my FXR and just got it back together. What is a good source for a new clutch cable? Mine is leaking a little and needs to be replaced. It sure is strange how many things that worked fine before I took everything apart now are having issues Anyway it looks great and runs better than it ever has

What exactly do you mean when you say your clutch cable is leaking?

It's leaking where it connect into the transmission. Not a lot just a little drip

It's an o ring on my 95 fxstc that seals the threaded collar of the clutch cable to the trans. Might get way with replacing o ring.

+1 on the above, if it's leaking where the threaded end goes into the tranny then replace the o-ring first, you will need a gasket as the end cover has to come off. If it's leaking where the cable is pressed into the ferrule on the end, then you will need a new cable.
