I'd recommend against that. There's a distinct possibility of the whole thing falling apart when the solder melts.
OK - not QUITE ready to let this go....
What about using a good soldering iron rather than a torch...?

Yeah, that'd prolly be better. Here's a better idea.. in my opinion anyway , if it passes the hot water test... let it be.What about using a good soldering iron rather than a torch...?
Think it's just the angle of the shot. But while looking I did find the cable end loose in the collar, an o-ring snugged it "for now". Not sure if the tach cable should be routed ahead of or behind the triple... Got the RH factory header on this morning also.From your post in Mailman's leaky tank thread.
Issat a kink in the tach cable?

Hint; a bit of silver spray paint on some paper towel rubbed on the gray cable sheaths hides that dingy "yellowing". Did this on the badly sunburned Royal Star it stayed silver/gray for years of use.
Yeah... the stretching will eventually stabilize. We had the same problem in the airplane world. Whenever possible, we would "preload" cables... sometimes to several hundred lbs. and let 'em sit like that for 24hrs. When done that way, future adjustment were much less frequent.If you have new throttle cables, they are probably just bedding in and stretching. Hopefully that will stop once they're "broken in".
Yes.Is that a frame and engine numbers matching bike Gary?
