iv tryed 2 clutch cables and both seem to be about half a centimeter too long.  my worm cover is a little different as it only covers half the drive gear.  im worried is it my cover thats the issue?  i made a little washer type spacer that slid onto my cable where the other spacer thing is.  its not ideal though because now the cable kinda scraps the cover.  anyone else have hell with the ebay dt1 cables?  i guess im gonna have to shorten cable another way in long run.  thanks

Have you tried a cable from KDI repros? They make quality products for these bikes.

the ebay ones are kdi. my cover kinda dips down where the cable hole is so maybe its my cover. ill try and take a pic. i want to learn to solder my own but honestly the motion pro solder brass ones are expensive. i got some screw up kind coming. know if you can you desolder nipples on the cable and reuse them? know if you can solder the screw up nonsolder kind for extra strength?
