if you have an XB then I am sure you have noticed that the clutch line rubs through over time. Does anyone know where I could find a stainless clutch line? |

Barnett or Motion Pro, if they offer it for an S1,M2,X1 in their catalog then its a direct bolt in, otherwise you will have to special order it. Maybe if we can get a group order together, or get one of the dealers to put in a group order for us, we can get a discount on them...Dave? Clown? Al? anyone else? |

only mine and several others I have seen it rubs through in one if not both places where it touches the chin cowl. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/77182.html more people with the same problem. if you don't have it then you are lucky I think. |

I've noticed Motion Pro is advertising clutch cables with a different wind on the housing. Might help with the clutch cable breakage issue if they make them for xb's. |

Most of the clutch cable breakage issues seem to be stemming not from a lack of lube for the cable, but from not lubing the swage that fits in the bar at the same time. If that swage binds, it puts extra pressure on the cable ends as they go into the swage. |

if the cable wears through and you change it to stainless then wont the stainless just end up cutting through something more expensive. being that it is a harder metal. |
