    Longer Brake, Clutch and Throttle Cables / Hoses

    Hi All,

    Can anyone recommend somewhere that has longer cables and hoses for a KTM?

    I want to put Rox Risers on my KTM EXC 525 but the cables are a little too short. Has anyone ever replaced cables and hoses for longer ones and can you recommend a place to buy them?

    Cheers,
    Stef

    Hi Slanty,I used to work for Hein Gericke and they sell H.E.L. and Goodridge lines,now i ordered new H.E.L. lines for my ninja when i had it and if i remember rightly you can order the lengths,colours and fittings you require.Might be worth a shot,just pop into any HG store and ask.
    Hope this helps,

    I've been in contact with Nick Chambers who will custom make you a set of teflon braided steel cables with full stainless hardware for less than 20 squid! And in different colours to boot. Just send him the details of what you need. See this thread for more details: Brake caliper refurbishment

    Nick is sorting out the brake and clutch hoses but he can't do the throttle cables

    Does anyone know anyone who could make up some custom throttle cables for a KTM 525 EXC? Oh, I'll need the decompression cable too? This is getting kinda urgent now as there's not long to the rally...

    Cheers,
    Slanty
