Chrome cable wraps
ok... since my cables where all done i did this how to using my oil lines for my oil cooler... still the same idea though
what you need...
http://cableorganizer.com/chrome-sle...-sleeving.html
5/16 will do most cables and what not, may have to go a touch bigger on the cables for the tach and speedo (i did mine in side entry black... another write up for another day)

here is how you do it:
what you need,
1. cable or hose (what your wrapping)
2. lighter or heat gun
3. razor to clean up the wrap after it is heated
4. wire sleeving
5. shring wrap
6. Scissors


before you start cut it smooth and heat that end wiht a lighter to melt it together a bit... this will help keep the end together as you stretch it around to get it started on the item you are wrapping:


when you start to install this stuff go slow, push it up on the cable and then pull it down... it moves inch by inch (least it does on rubber, on reg cables it slides on pretty easy)


before you cut the wrap to length slide on your shrink wrap... it will make it SO much easier to get on without fraying up the ends


once you get the wrap to the lenght you want it you have to cut it... it will fray out a bit... i use a lighter to heat it up (it does spark up after a bit under the flame) just blow it out and use your finger to dab down the fray ends so it is melted tight



slide the shrink wrap over that and heat with lighter (or heat gun)



finished product:

 

Good post and good idea. Getting the look without the expense. Like your step
by step instructions. Keep up the good work.

 

I would have never pictured you to be the white wine kinda guy. Red maybe.


Great idea, I'll have to check into it!

 

ha ha ha ha I am marry'n a greek. I will say that i am very into wine.. we have been to well over 100 winerys... in fact that is one of the main trips we take on our bikes.... you would be amazed at all the killer country roads that these guys have their vinards off of... she gets her wine, i get my open country roads... it is a win win

 

Have to join ya on one of those rides! My wife is a big wine drinker. I like it, but don't drink it all that much. One of our friends is actually a wine maker at Fox Valley Winery.

 

Yea nice job joe..


i tried to order from them but they are out too lunch on shipping up to Canada..
I wanted 6 feet of the smallest they had to do my throttle/Idle ..
But 26 dollars US shipping !!!!!!!! Crazy sh*t ..

 

dude if it woudl work for you i can order it and send it to you... not sure if that would help but if you want it and they will not ship it..

 

That would be great.
Let me know the cost to you for 6ft and freight .
We can go from there..
Thank you

 

Joe, do you have any pics of that on cables? Did you do your throttle and idle cables with it?

 

Nice write up Joe, hell of a mod. I didn't realize you mid-westerners had any wineries out there. That stuff is blowing up here, we have wineries and vineyards popping up everywhere.

Now back to the top for those that missed this.
