How long are these cables going to be for sale. My stock one is working fine but I would like to replace it next summer when I pull my motor to replace the mounts and install new 06 pistons?

Thanks, thats great. Now I don't have to hurry up and order one and loose it before I need it haha.
Anyone get any pics of the cable Donbrown is selling yet. Curious to see what they look like. Thanks
I purchased one of Don Brown's cables and it arrived yesterday
The cable appears to be a very high quality piece, I am really excited to get it installed this Saturday hopefully
Communication was great and everything is exactly how I expected it to be... THANKS Don

Looks like a great product, I am sure Don will be getting a few orders placed before the snow falls. Great price that cannot be beaten, already in stock and a heck of an improvement over stock junk.
EDIT- just posted these pics on the thread over on the flatlanders forum (HCS) along with your email addy donbrown that was on your original thread in the swapmeet. Hope they get some orders thrown your way.

Don't forget that you can get a cable from Motion Pro any time by calling them and giving them the part number I posted above. They will start production of your cable right away and you'll have it in less than two weeks. $43 plus shipping and tax if in CA.

Yes that is the original reason I started the thread (link a couple posts up) over @ HCS for these cables.
What do you guys use for cable lube and what is the best process to lube it before installation?
I would use graphite since it won't gum up like grease. Get a little tube for a couple buck.
If you want to get real fancy suspend the graphite is isopropol alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and poor it into the cable. The graphite will soak in everywhere and the alcohol will evaporate.

Unfortunatly the cable from Don didn't work. The throttle can't go the last third closed to get it to idle and the oil side is too much cable. I may have just gotten a bad one where they made the oil the throttle and the throttle the oil. Nonetheless Don refunded my money and is a great guy! I am going to order a motion pro now.

I have used Tri-Flow for 30+ years with great sucess on all my dirt and street bikes, quads, watercraft and now snowmobiles. It is actually quite a bit thinner than grease and won't ever gum up as Don had mentioned about grease. You can buy a comercial cable luber (pictured bleow) that all the shops use. They are well under $20 and will serve you well for all your toys with cables to lube!! You clamp the luber to the end of the cable and insert the little red straw they give you with the Tri-Flow into the hole in the luber and spray. You'll see the lube coming out the oposite end of the cable and know your done. Once every couple years I spray brake cleaner in the cable to clean and re-apply the Tri-Flow to lube. The luber below is $7.95 on EBAY and includes free shipping!
P.S. I have installed the Motion Pro Cable and it works perfectly and is dead center in both adjustment bands.

The ones from donbrown weren't fitting and I think he doesn't have any more. Only option is to call Motion Pro in one of the previous posts above as FBF has been MIA for a while.
