Hi just about to order some cables, i have a blackbird engine in, do you use the original bike cables (throttle's twin cable) or just use a single cable?
Dont want to order the bike one and it be to short.
Thanks Wayne

On my R1 I used bicycle gear cables. I did try brake cables first but it's thicker and not as flexible around the TB attachment. I used the fitted nipple at the pedal end and a solderless nipple at the TB's; Others have done it the oposite way. In the bike it has 2 but one is to pull the throttle back off and I just used one and relied on the return spring.
