Throttle Cable Problem , Possible Solution?

[DirtDiggler69]

OK , so I'm slowly getting the 2-1 Banshee Project together and I ordered a Throttle Cable for it , problem is the cable is about a inch too long , The adjustment at the thumb throttle is too short . Its a Honda atv cable ( 250R ) and it connects fine to my 38mm PJ , just the length has me messed up. I thought of a solution and I was wondering if anyone else has done this. I can get a Bolt Coupler and a piece of all thread , drill out the all thread and notch a slit down one side so the cable can be passed through it and cut the all thread just long enough to make up for the length of the cable . anyone ever do this? or have a differn't approach?

I thought the Blaster cable was what they used.

And thinking about that now , Thats what I should have gone with , but Talking with someone a 250r cable would also work and I found a new motion pro cable at a good price I went with that . I'm gonna Get a Blaster Cable and I know it will work because the Thumb THrottles are the same . Maybe the guy I was talking to had a 250R ( TRX ) thumb throttle instead of the Yamaha unit .

You could try and find a 400ex thumb throttle housing. The blaster cable is the correct cable if you're using the banshee thumb throttle. Rather than try and ghetto rig something that could have the potential to stick your throttle open and really ruin your day, why don't you just order the correct stuff and sell the one you have on egay.

and stop listening to that "dude around the corner" that had a banshee back in 1988.

Your throttle is NOT something you want to have Mickey Moused together. A stuck throttle can cause serios injury to you and your bike, and a broken bike in the middle of nowhere sucks. Buy the right cable and/or throttle housing and set it up right.
