Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Risers and throttle cable

I am finally going to install the HD deuce pullback risers, (that I bought some time ago), on my Speedmaster to get a more relaxed riding position. I'm going to move the throttle
cable(s) to the right side of the tree to gain some slack.

My thought is to disconnect & then reconnect them at the hadlebar throttle locations instead of between the carbs.

Is this a difficult procedure and is there anything I need to watch out for? I know there has to be a small amout of free play retained in the cables. Looks like there are 2 nuts to come off first. Just never have done this before.

Appreciate any help

oyu have to unscrew the the small screw at the bottom and one on the back. you then have access to both cables. You will also need to undo the top cable as this is held by a screw and a little plate.

The cable slip into position and are a bit of a bugger to get out a small flat blade screw driver I used. Reroute the cables making sure you have plenty of slack so you can turn the handlebars from side to side without it revving.

If they are to short try Bellacorse for the America cables or have them made by them

What I did when installing the fat z-bars. I removed the whole control assy from the right side of the bars ( easy when changing the bars or risers ) 2 screws for electrical bits and 2 allen bolts for the hardware. then I slid the throttle sleeve off the end of the bars. I loosened the nuts for the throttle cables where they enter the assy ( take note of the position of each, I counted the threads ) to give slack to the cables. Then you can kind of work the 2 cables out of the sleeve. perform the reroute and then reinstall in reverse order.

Thanks a bunch for the information.

I will finaly start on this thing now. I'm hoping the new bar position will help my back on long rides.
