Also seen on ebay for about the same price, $13.98 with free shipping. Bought one for my bike, was really nice quality. I've bought several items from this guy and have been extremely satisfied every time.

I had ordered a Motion Pro clutch cable once when my stock cable just would not adjust any longer. The stock cable was 26 years old. I installed the Motion Pro cable, everything was fine, thing is I only got 4 years out of it. The cable strands are no where near as heavy as the stock ones. I was fixing to leave for a rally close to me in the mountains when I pulled in the clutch and noticed only 3 strands on the cable were left. The others had broken. Great there goes my Rally that weekend...you get what you pay for. I have a new stock clutch cable again...Comment

Has anyone else had a similar issue with these? I always carry a backup clutch and throtle cable so as not to be left "STRANDED"...pun intended.I had ordered a Motion Pro clutch cable once when my stock cable just would not adjust any longer.

No problems with motion pro here.
Think im going on 2 or 3 years, with EBC springs.
The clutch is like Harley-tight...im surprised the cable hasn't snapped yet.Comment

Do what a lot of us do, if you use the after market heavier springs, so you don't end up with one popeye arm, only use 3 of the new springs mixed with the old ones, stagger them ever other one.
Thats how mine feels, I have new springs as well, if mine last 3-5 years, I'm ok with that, and I have a good used oem one with me at all times anyway.Comment

Why would anyone buy an aftermarket cable of a lesser quality when you can get a superior OEM cable for only a couple dollars more. I don't get it.Comment

Didn't know it was inferior at the time of purchase, if it fails prematurely, I won't replace it with the same, but go back to oem, I figured they were all the same and tried to save a few $$ at the time. I don't think anyone intentionally buys a lesser quality anything, kind of a silly comment.
It was mostly a purchase of convenience, I was buying other things via ebay and it made a one stop shop easy with fast shipping as mine had just broke and needed one fast. Got it in 2 days, but would have gladly waited, if I suspected poor quality, they had good reviews from other buyers at the time.Last edited by Guest; 06-06-2012, 06:52 AM.Comment

Dont know what Harleys you've been riding but mine is just as easy as any, maybe easier.
I agree with the aftermarket clutch cables. Not much cable there.Comment
