So, I'm looking into putting 16" apes on my 01 Ultra and am having a hell of a time finding the 10+ steel braided throttle cables for my bike. It seems that there are different cables for bike with the Marelli Fi, that difference having to do with having cruise and not having cruise. So my question is this....what the hell is so different simply by having or not having freakin cruise control?!?!!!!

 

The idler cable for bikes with cruse control have a throttle roll off switch built into them to kill the cruse on throttle roll off. It would still work on a non cruse bike. The switch would just not be hooked to anything.

 

Have you looked on Magnumshielding’s website for cables?

 

So then, would it be safe to assume that I would still have my cruise, I just wouldn't have that "roll-off" safety switch there to cut the cruise when I go to accelerate?

 

I actually checked about 10 minutes ago. They don't have kits listed at all fory FLHTCUI....only for the FLHRI Road King!!!.

 

I would highly recommend calling them directly.

 

Yes. The cruse control will function without the safety roll off switch. Probably not the best option to go without it. It’s all fine and dandy until something happens fast and the extra second or two of shutting down your cruse would have made the difference. Not to preach, we all know there’s not much forgiveness when crashing on two wheels.

 

I just went on their site. It looks to me like you can just order individual clutch, throttle and idler cables. Does it need to be in a set?

Of course the answer is you want all safety gear. But I can't remember the last time I canceled the cruise by twisting the throttle backward! Usually it's the forward brake lever. Once in a while the rear brake pedal.
