    1100EZ clutch cable

    My clutch cable just snapped, and I want to get back on the road ASAP. Does this look good (Motion Pro cable from Bikebandit)?

    Are there quality differences between brands? If there are, I can go for the best. Which?

              Is this it?

              http://www.suzukipartshouse.com/oemp...lebar-gs1100ez

              What does "Neutral Type" mean?

                  i think they mean the handlebars type(neutral)?
                  do you have a local dealer to go to?
                  you know...drive there?

                      May try that. "Babbitts Suzuki Parts House" wants over $19 for the cable, and over $17 for shipping.

                          an OEM cable should be 20-30 bucks at a dealership.
                          maybe more...it's been a while.

                              OEM is they way to go, anything else and you'll be disappointed.
                              You want it fast, you'll have to pay.

                                  Had a Motion Pro clutch cable, lasted only 3 years. I caught it with just 3 strands still intact on it. OEM is the only way. If you gotta wait to get the OEM, then it's worth the wait.

                                      Anybody know where I can get an OEM on line besides Babbitts?

                                          Any online Suzuki place.

                                          Try Partshark.

                                                      I'm on Partshark now. I entered the part number from the fiche (58200-45401). $21 for the cable and $9 for shipping is fine, but how do I know I'm getting OEM?
