Thanks for the help guys.
The shops in the North West can order stuff and get it to me within a couple of days but its no good if like today you wanted to go for a ride out and the throttle cable snapped and there was no where within 100 miles that had them in stock.
I was hoping to nip out in the car and get the bike fixed for today and tomorrow but no joy. I've got a throttle cable coming friday and until then I'm going to use the old openning one and just not bother with a closing one.
