throttle/idle cables 1983 FLH

[waltcentral]

I measure the black vinyl portion of the cables on the bike at 32 inches. The bike has a S&S Super E.  Anything special about the cables for a S&S I should consider? The cables on there look like originals.

If the E is made for that bike, and push pull cables, then no differences.

  I bought Barnett clutch, throttle and idle cables. Replacing the 35 year old cables on the bike now. I replaced the speedo cable with a Barnett last year after a self induced mishap. I could have bought cheaper cables but.....

I had a cheap throttle cable saw through the elbow piece under the throttle assembly.  Wedged it real good.

I only use 1 cable on an E with a Shovel works just fine

Here is what's required to get the most accurate

My 1980 FXE came new with a single throttle cable.....when I put in the S&S 84" kit some years later it came with the E and the push/pull...open/close dual cable setup. I kinda suspected maybe it was something 'required' on newer models for safety ? Anyone know for sure ?

Absolutely...same as all shifters will be on the left!! Can only make so much Noise!! etc...
BTW at the Race track...you will be required to have a Manual throttle return as well... Safety... that one courtesy NHRA

I really can't argue against the return cable, it is a true safety feature that does not get in the way, hamper performance, cost a lot of extra money, or cause a major issue in the looks department.

I did that with 2 Es and 2 CVs.
