Who else besides me still has a perfectly good original issue clutch cable wireform that hasn't broken. Mine has well over 25,000 miles on it. My bike is blessed. (Message edited by electraglider_1997 on May 28, 2010) | ||

Funny you post this, I am in the middle of adjusting my clutch (can't figure it out, need auto-adjuster or hydraulic conversion), I am at about 41k with the paperclip retainer. | ||

Maybe the breaks were caused by over-torquing the screw at the factory and ours weren't. | ||

Keep an eye on it Electroglider - mine was blessed as well but the cable actually sawed through it at about 50,000miles. Have a look at the lower loop and see if the wire isn't worn flat in one place - if so, that will eventually wear right through. The resulting super-sharp end then proceeded to rip into the cable outer -  The new one is really industrial strength to look at but expensive for what it is. Mind you, it is much cheaper than a clutch cable. | ||

68,000 miles on my original, and still looks fine (now I've probably just jinxed it).  | ||

I replaced my still intact guide at about 40k, still have it. I would let it go at a fair price,PM me with offers  | ||

32k original 06 paperclip | ||

are you talking about the clip that holds the clutch cable or the actual cable itself? I had to replace the cable but it still has the same clip holding it. Cable broke close to 29000 miles. | ||

What can't you figure out, Froggy? | ||

There is no electronic friction value in ECMspy, so I got to turn some nuts and hope it works the old fashioned way. I think I finally got it this time, I went out for a ride and it didn't slip under hard acceleration but I couldn't get it to wheelie. I love not having to adjust the damn thing on my podded bikes. | ||

My original '06 paperclip style holder is still as pristine as new. I will be happy to sell it to anyone interested for about $50 plus shipping. It has very low mileage and virtualy no wear. I replaced it with the new one when the new version came out, the paper clip has been stored in a climate controlled garage. | ||

Pso, as generous as that offer is, I'll try and resist.  | ||

So I looked at my ULY's paper-clip and it has no flat spots. Looks good as new to me. I don't change things that work just fine. BUT, if there is a great demand for 50 dollar wireforms then I'll be all over that. Just send me your check to: Electraglider Madoff Lane Ponzi, NE 66677 | ||
