I just picked up the XL100 cable and I see it doesn't have the 45(or so)
degree metal sleeve/elbow at the lever end like the stock cable. Since
I'm at work and the Sprint is at home, I ask "does the little metal bit
transfer to the new cable?". Does it need to?
Thanks,

Yes it is 22870-GN1-000. I paid 21.89 for it.

Tried asking for an XL100 quote and there are several generations of
the bike, mid-70s on. Do you happen to have a year or part number?

I just had one give up on my 2K ST at 48K miles. I failed at the
clutch
end. The little stepped end ferrel just wore out. I was 40 miles
outside
of Page Az. when it happened. I used a pair of vice grips to re-attach
it to the lever at the clutch end. I got a replacement from the Honda
dealer in Page AZ. He said it was the same as a Honda XL100 clutch
cable. It was a perfect fit.

So I'm riding north after work, in the rain, heading for a haircut. I
notice at every stop light, after exiting the highway, that I can smell
burning clutch or brake. Since it's raining, I figure it can't be
brake, and I haven't noticed any dragging feeling. Eventually I realize
that the clutch is "suddenly" (not too inattentive, am I?) engaging
very, very close to the hand grip. I spin out the adjuster several
threads, to the point I'm afraid to go any further, lest the thing fall
out, and not much improvement.
The only thing I can figure on this is the cable is near failure and
stretching, perhaps as the individual strands give way?
Anyone have this happen, maybe, just before the "snap"? Or is it
something more expensive?
Also, what's a good online source for reasonably priced cables? Might
as well do the slightly sticky throttle cable at the same time.
TIA,
JDW
