Venhill has developed four new Featherlight Clutch Cable Kits for Honda’s iconic late 70s/early 80s CB550, 650 and 750s. The kits offer the best of both worlds: modern performance, dependability and feel, with a period-correct look to blend in nicely with the CB’s classic lines.
Developed and made in their UK factory, Venhill Featherlight Clutch Cable Kits use the latest technology and materials for enhanced durability, as well as a smoother, lighter clutch action.
Each kit uses high quality marine-grade stainless steel inner wire to eliminate stretch. They’re also ‘Bird-caged’ – allowing solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger and reducing the risk of breakage.
A PTFE ‘teflon’ liner minimises friction and removes the need for regular lubrication. This is then wrapped in a steel winding with a PVC jacket; which provides great flexibility and strength during use, and protects the inner wire from damage and corrosion.
Like all Venhill cables, the jacket comes in a choice of seven different colour ways, so owners can choose from classic black for originality, or spec a contrasting colour for a special build or race bike.
For those fitting higher or lower bars, additional length can be specified when ordering.
The new kits fit the following models and years:
- Honda CB 550 (F1-F2) 1976-1977
- Honda CB 650 (Z-A) 1979-1982
- Honda CB 650 C (A-B) 1980-1981
- Honda CB 750 F (SOHC) (F2-F3) 1977-1978
They retail at £25.32 inc VAT each, and are a direct replacement for the originals, for hassle-free fitting.
