Iv got a universal one on my bike carbs. U just need a push bike cable end on it. You can get removable nipples from most bike shops.

what is your nipple requirement?

I have some stainless steel bike gear cables going spare.

also how long?

I also just got a universal jobby... Didn't have the nipple to put on the end but put a bolt through the nipple hole and clamped the cable between two washers and tighten it up... Not much strain on a clutch cable after all....

I dont think you will need a nipple ,just clamp it up at the choke end.

i used the bonnet pull on the sierra column

My nipple requirement so to speak will need to be checked out. I presume its like the throttle bit and will take a bike brake cable type end.

thanks

What about air filters? do you recomend bogg bros??

Ref filters - measure your centres and take a pic of the filter mounting face. then give Mark at Mac#1 a call. He had a pair of K&N's on the shelf last week. I tried them but my spacing wasnt right so didnt buy them (im using ZZR1100 keihins).

HTH,
Darren.
