Barnett Cables HSR 42 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
Ordered +3 Barnett cables from Maxair for my HSR 42. I can get one or the other on but not both. I have them adjusted to full length. Or should I ditch the push cable? Still seems odd that it is adjusted to full length. Shouldn't the cables be too long to install, then adjust them? Also the elbow at the control housing is not the same as stock so when I adjust my brake lever the mirror is in the way. Over all not happy with this BS!

Something is wrong! The cables should be 100% stock at the upper end. the differance from stock should be the extra length and the differant bottom end for the differant carb. You can leave the idle (push) cable off if you wish. It is simply a safety factor should something happen to prevent the normal spring return.

A friend who has a 750 Vulcan was 150 miles from home and the throttle cable broke! he was able to take it off and switch places for the idle cable and come home!

yeah something not right there. Should bolt right up.
Dump the push cable....redundant. That's what the useless kill switch is for.
We have both of those safety items as some people can't figure out to pull in the clutch lever.

I have Barons +6 cables on my 07 and stock on my 05 and both fit. The push cable is against the big V on the backbone but they work fine.

So what did you use to plug off the hole in the throttle housing?

You can get little chrome plugs at Home Depot that fit just perfect.
