Dual throttle cable difference
Anyone know what warrants two part numbers for the throttle and return cables? Short of pulling them off, I'm failing to see how they differ. Guessing length somehow make them different. Or is it the feruls?
Handlebar swap got me digging into this and am now distracted with the rabbit hole of part #'s. just to have 2ish inch taller bars on my 08 custom.
Thanks in advance.

What year is your bike?
On the 2008 and 2017 the cable ends of the inner at the twist grip are identical. The idle cable at the throttle body has a small spring on it.
There is a retaining ring on the cable and that is different I am guessing so you can only put them on one way.
The real question though is the idle cable absolutely necessary, what is its purpose and what problem does it solve?

Is it necessary, no.

On my 1991, I have a Barnett throttle cable and am planning to delete both stock cables and use just the Barnett throttle cable next time I pull off the carb and/or lube the cables. My throttle housing is supposed to have an internal stop, which makes deleting the idle cable easier. I will just find a short cap screw to plug the hole where the idle cable enters.
