Default Reuse Cables??

Hey all,

Hopefully an easy to answer question. I just replaced the throttle cables, brake line, and clutch cable on a 2011 Street Bob. I am also working on a 2006 Sportster 883XL.

I was wondering which, if any, of the cables from the dyna could be reused on the sportster project?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on length and fit. The throttle cables you can likely re-use. The clutch cable depends on the length of travel and play you want in the clutch. It also depends on the ramp outer on the clutch itself. I'd recommend a new brake line even if it fits.

You have both bikes and all the cables there and you are asking us what will fit?
