Can't wait to install it and put the sled back together! They did a quality job in building this and well worth the money. What are you guys using to lube the cables before you install it?
New Motion Pro cable came! :)

I used Tri-Flow. But my father-in-law (motorcycle, atv, etc. mechanic for over 30 years) uses simple chain lube available at any dealer. I don't use it becasue it's hell getting it out of the cable to clean it before lubing the next time. But if you clean/lube the cable once in a while the Tri-Flow is great. Use a cable luber like below...also available at a dealer or on ebay for about $10. It will work on all your toys...dirt bike, atv etc.

The cable is actually made to accomadate a riser, 5" or 6" I believe. Mine had a pretty big extra "loop" when I installed it on my stock 900.

Wow! Mine took the full two weeks to arrive but it was the first one they made so I'm sure there was a learning curve.
John
mine took about a week to make and shipped after I ordered mine, Maybe they made a couple extra after they made mine as long as they were making them?....I just have a 2 inch riser for now, might put pro tapers on

You may want to report that to Motion Pro. Mine (the prototype) was perfect...both oil and throttle were right in the dead middle of the adjustment range.

I got two recently and I had to send one back. the oil cable was to long.
Motion pro replaced it, good guys.
This cable would fit a 14 inch riser !! There's a lot extra, with all the curves I had to do, it got a little stiff.
I'd like to see the splitter 5 inches closer to the throttle bodies and maybe a couple inches shorter on the single section.
It's definately better than stock though. I'm glad someone took the bull by the horns and got this started.
When I spoke to motion pro, the didn't want to change it as I am not the original designer....
1/2 inch shorter on the oil would be perfect as it is on the cusp of being to long and any slight error in manafacture will create problems.
