Another Old Biker Nut!
Hi,
I got my clutch EZ Pull clutch cable installed this weekend but the cable itself is about 1/2" longer than I'd like. TooMany has noted the extra length in one of his threads. I am real happy with the pull force, measured at about 15 lbs max, after making the worm gear mod and cable alignment tricks of his.
When adjusted with 1/8" gap at the handle, I only have about 1/4" of thread engagement into the handle thread. I don't have a lathe so am looking ideally fro a longer adjuster so I could just use stock EZ Pull cables in the future. The stock one has a 8-1.25mm thread X 23mm long. I'm also thinking about getting a Flanders cable end as a second option and shortening the cable, not the sheath, by about a 1/2".

"Solderless set screw barrel fitting, O.D..312” (7.9mm), will accept .062” (1.5mm) to .100” (2.5mm) wire." 620-28020
Any sources for a longer adjuster or other options?
