Clutch & Throttle cables for MK Indy with ZX12r

Hi Guys,

Are these cables available off the shelf or do I need to get them made up?

I've got Standard MK Pedals and a ZX12r engine.

I'm trying to push on with my build to be ready for the summer and this recent warm spell has made me speed up considerably!

Speak to Mac#1, they sold me this exact set up last weekend for £50 for both. They both have a circular fixing at the pedal end so no messing around with clamps, just a 6mm bolt.

The clutch cable is only just long enough and I had to modify the arm a tiny bit for clearance for the nipple but otherwise absolutely spot on.

The price includes the "top hat" fixing for thwere the cable come through the blukhead on the Indy's and is an exact fit.

Sorry, just remember you need to modify the bracket on the engine which holds the bulkhead fixing for the clutch too but just needs opening out to about 10mm IIRC. It just unbolts and it's only ally so dead easy.

not sure about the clutch on a BEC but I've just fitted the throttle cable to my pedal/ZX9R carbs and I just used a £1 mountain bike brake cable, a bicycle cable adjuster and two solderless nipples.

Professionally made up cable = £25+
My cable = <£5
