Quick question for those with CV carbs on their ironheads. What throttle cable are y’all using?
I tried the stock replacement for an 81 XLH from J&P but I had to cut the housing back, that worked for a little while but it broke. So I bought one for a 1990 sportster thinking that bike came with a CV so it should work, but even with the slack adjusted all the way out the housing is too short. Not really sure which way to go now.
The nut that threads into the throttle tube was too small on both cables too. Not a huge deal but figured I’d mention it.
