RE: Kaw. Cable part #(Re: [ST] More Cable Questions)



Sorry abou the missing part of the number but that was all that was on the
Docket

The Kawasaki cable in Australia is only $23.95 Aussie dollars
where the Triumph cable is $67.00 AuD

The kawasaki cable in my opinion is a far better cable as it is made of a
finer strading then the
Triumph and hence should flex alot better over a longer period of time .
Also has a
rubber boot at the bottom that helps keeps dirt and water out of the cable.

Cheers

Rob

Okay, to followup again, I just called a local Kawasaki dealer, and the
parts guy was a little confused at first.  Then he figured out what
I was looking for and explained to me that the full part number is
540-11-1261 (at least in his system).  Price was US$25, though, which is
not any cheaper than what I can order it from jacklilley's for.

Laters,
Brian
