Go on, say they're $400 to the US market



I wish I could say that, but no I cannot.
All I can say is that we have them and are working on them but at this point I am sworn to secrecy as to the price.

The stock throttle cables will not work with these, and they DO NOT come with a new one, yet...
Norman Hyde sent me an email when I asked if they forgot parts, and said that since there are so many variants and bars used with so many different Thriumphs, he does not supply cables. So, you can go to his shop and he will make them up for you.
Kinda of a long wet ride for US, so we need to get our own made up.
Never fear though, the Dink solved the problem. I found a local shop that carries the Motion Pro Cable making kits right down the road a ways, and bought some little parts for about $5 that will do the job perfectly. I got a little solder on tube/crimp connector for the end that fits perfectly in the little 1-2 cable adaptor that came with the carbs. I also got a nice new ferel (5mm if I remember correctly) that will crimp on the end of the cable where I cut it and make it good as new.
There is another option too, don't you guys love all the research I do for you?
Flanders Cables makes every little part you could ever need to make brand new custom cables. You could easily just buy the stuff and just whip them out using their stuff. Much wider selection that Motion Pro, and the prices are also very nice. All you need to do is figure out what sizes are needed and order the parts and make away.

Anyway, it really pains me to say that I am sure, when we get this done, that Matt's bike will be even faster than mine. I keep telling him I am going to de-tune his just enough to be slower than me.
But I'm not that big a turd. Am I?

I will post more details about these soon, as well as the entire cable making process. So, don't be scared away from these carbs, with a small amount of work, that will most likely be taken care of soon, they can be fitted and running in short order.

C ya!
