    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

IIRC the throttle cable I got off eBay for my 78 1000 is a Volmar.Seems to be a quality piece,don't think you'll be disappointed.
 
I've never used a Volar cable but I have bought a 530 chain from the them for my GR650. It's been great so far. Not sure if this helps you or not...
 
The only experiance i've had is their brake pads are junk....
 
I would just spend the $16.00 and get the O.E.M. cable myself and not take any chances with quality. :-\\\

Too late, I ordered it. I hadn't seen your post yet. I guess I'll just post a review of it once I've used it for a bit.

The plastic on my OEM cable broke near the adjuster next to where it hooks to the throttle. What I'd really like is to use a cable from a CB or some other cable where it's components are made of metal rather than plastic.
 
Volar chains apparently have a bad rap....
Yet I have one on my 750, several thousand miles and no problems. It still has perfect slack, no tight spots. I've been on a few road trips, wheelies, burn-outs too. I'm beginning to wonder if people simply aren't installing them correctly, or maybe aren't installing new sprockets a long with the chain. Maybe it's hit or miss, who knows.
