5/8/2008 3 Tonight I re-worked the throttle cable bracket ..... again! After I installed the exhaust there wasnt enough clearance between the heat shield attached to the exhaust and the fire sleeve I wrapped around the throttle cable. The solution was to make a new bracket and drill the cable hole 1/4 inch higher than the last iteration. Photos
