The stock clutch cable worked. I just miss the hydraulic clutch I had on my previous motorcycle. So smooth and easy. Barnett cables will definitely ease that pull and strain on your hand and wrist and even the tendon in your forearm. Is it as good as the hydraulic clutch? No. But it sure helps. Sitting in traffic, working the clutch for slow speed riding. Save the rubber boot from your existing cable and place it on the Barnett cable as the Barnett cable does not supply the rubber boot.
