Just my luck. 3 Years, 3 Months ago  
So here I am fianlly enjoing a day with no snow and wind and a day thats finally above freezing. Me and wifey just out getting a little face in the wind time. Redlight, busy intersection. Hit the gas and SNAP! Busted the throttle cable right at the barrel. GGRRrrrrrrr. Buddy of mine at the shop came out with a trailer. Nearest cable is almost 2 weeks away!!! Guess I best look for one myself.

I have heard of people using harley cables in place of the stock ones.. If that helps at all,you could get one at a harley dealer ....
