Default Cable adapter

Hello everyone, I have searched and searched. I have heard they make an adapter for what I am looking to do, wondering if anybody knows where I can get one. I have a 74 ironhead and I want to run newer sporty hand controls on it so I can get rid of the switches in the ones I have now. I need an adapter for my clutch lever end of the cable. Any ideas? Thanks

Scotty

Check with Mike at Poole Cycle Parts in Mesquite, TX. He can probably steer you in the right direction.

repost your question down in the ironhead section of the forum. Somebody will have an answer for you.

Those push buttons on old Harleys are junk. I should do the same thing to mine.
