Choke cable question.

[BlueFordTruck]

Hey guys! I Have an 86 1100 and as every one else who has an 85-86 knows is that the choke cable is unavailable. So I was wondering if the later model year cable would work or not? Say like the 87. Or if some one knows of a cable making site that has the pattern on file so you could just call them and put in an order.

I see people fight over them when they come up on ebay sometimes but I dont know why people want them so bad cuz there all in the same worn out condition as the one being replaced.

If you currently have one, you can just measure it and have Magnum or Motion-Pro make you a custom cable. I made my own recently from a Venhill kit and that was a great experience. Excellent quality cable and it cost me under $25.
