My knob on my choke cable crumbled into pieces. Do I have to replace the whole cable or can I just get a new knob. Kind of looks like a new cable will be needed. ??

I thought the knob screwed onto the cable.

New cable. About 17 bucks.

Thanks, Guell knob appears to be pressed or molded on.

There used to be aftermarket dress up knobs avaiable through HD shops.

Yup, just go to the Harley dealer. It's one of the items out there that was actually cheaper than you'd think.

I was looking at aftermarket cables on Ebay for $25 and the dealer had the original part for $18.
