Me too...just the throttle cable. I have a brand new stainless idle cable if anyone needs one.
Dude . . . are you using +10 ?? if you only use one cable what do you do with the other plug or what ever is called (hope you get what I am saying) will the cables come just the cable or with both of the ends needed to connect them (sorry I do not know the name) I think they are called banjos or something


@ jamie99roadstar
Thanks dude . . .


the bits on the ends of cables us brits normally call nipples

the hole where the idle cable enters the switchgear i capped with a chrome plug (the kind used for allen bolts) and a dab of silicone

Hmnn , that is different right ?? but if I want to go the "normal" way , +10 will do right ?? I do not want to be either to short or to long

It all depends on personal taste...I like mine tight against the bars as out of sight as possible. I have never had the +10's but that seems to be what everyone uses here that routes them the factory way. I am not sure if you can see how mine is routed in my sig pic. If your interested I can take closer pictures.

One cable for sure, amigo.

Shamrock:
If you really don't like the cable, you can actually put it inside of the bars...

Loco
Just contact Clifford and he will take care of you. He's getting mine for me.
He know what length you might need.
Good luck.
