I'm not 100% sure but I think the Roadking cables would work as long as they are from the same era. I would try your local shop 1st. I once got a free set of good used cables from them, I also purchased a carb though. A lot of people change them out for different reasons, braided, longer, shorter, etc. They should at least have a set you can look at and match up by hand to see if they will suit your needs.

You could also call Direct Parts technical support people. They may also be able to help.

Good luck long arms

As long as they are CV, later than 1995 and the same elbow any cable will work.
Stock your cables are 32" so, six inch overs will be 38". If they are too tight for 38" go with some 40". Too long is as bad as too short...trust me.

Call our tech line and ask for Sam 520-750-8884 he will walk you through the choices.
