Ok so I got my new bars installed over the weekend and noticed when I got home the clutch cable adjuster was not in the clamp it wasn't even close to getting in there. So my question is the clamps that attach to the down tube do the same as this clamp? does it just hold the cable enough to stop it from moving up and down? As of now I have 5 zip ties keeping it from hanging on the ground when I turn the bars...

 

Sound like your clutch cable is to long...

It should never hang so low that it could touch the ground.

I run my cable up the right side down tube and them over the top triple tree to the clutch lever. Three black zip ties are all you need.

 

That would be the incorrect way to run a clutch cable. Factory says left side that's why the mount is there. If anything the clutch cable is to short at least where it mounts to the clamp.

 

The factory is not always right. Running up the left side put two additional (unnecessary) bends in the cable. Route yours however you like, but that's not the issue you originally wrote about. How many cable adjusters do you have?

 

I agree the moco isn't always right....I like no cables at all but thats another topic. I have one adjuster its covered by the rubber that should go in the holder but just to low to fit in. I pretty much figured it out last night. I ordered a clamp yesterday and should recieve it today. I will post pics of what I'm talking about later. Thanks for the replies.

 

Wish there was a pic see wtf ya doin/done could give more input. Below a link for clamps, may want to pay attn to the 37- series since they use two allen screws opposed to the single. Another thing would be wrappin the inside with thin layer rubber to save the paint.

I hear you I should have taken some pictures but I didn't I will put some on tonight just so you can see my problem...I have in my hand a clamp with two allen screws we will see if it does the job. I agree about the rubber I'm thinking a bicycle tube will be good just trim to fit and it's thin enough

 

Yeppers a pic is worth a K of words..
