Throttle Cables

Throttle Cables: the link between your wrist and the carb or throttle body

A throttle cable is the mechanical pull that connects your twist grip to the carburetor slide or throttle body. When you roll on, the inner wire slides inside its housing and opens the throttle; a return cable (or spring) pulls it shut when you roll off. When a cable frays, kinks, or the housing swells and drags, you feel it as sticky return, a dead spot, or throttle that won't fully close - all reasons to replace rather than fight. Fresh throttle cables restore clean, predictable action, and swapping them is a job most riders can do with basic hand tools and careful routing.

What we stock

This page lists 30 throttle cables in stock from two brands: Bikers Choice (28 of the sample) and All Balls Racing (2). Prices currently run from $28 to $151 - that's the live range for what's on the shelf, not a standing offer. Fitment is recorded on 29 of the 30 products, covering model years from 1957 to 2023. The bulk of coverage is Harley-Davidson - Touring, Softail, Dyna, XL, FLHR, FLHT, FLHS, FLT, FX and FXST families among them - plus off-road and dual-purpose fitment for the Beta RR 2T 125 and Yamaha YZ125.

Concrete examples: the Bikers Choice Armor Coat throttle cable for 06-07 FLHR at $150.71, the Bikers Choice black vinyl 40.7-inch cable for 84-95 FLT/FLHT with HSR 42-45 Mikuni at $135.71, and the off-road All Balls Racing throttle cable for 19-23 Beta RR 2T 125 and All Balls Racing throttle cable for 07-23 Yamaha YZ125, both $27.99.

How to choose

Start with exact fitment: model, year, and carb or throttle setup all change the cable length and end fittings. Note the Bikers Choice listings that specify a carburetor - the 84-95 cable is cut for the HSR 42-45 Mikuni, so a different carb means a different cable. Length matters too; the FLT cable is listed at 40.7 inches, and stock-length cables like the FLHR replacement are meant to match the original routing. On finish and construction, you'll see options like black vinyl and Armor Coat housings from Bikers Choice - a look-and-feel choice more than a performance one. The single-cylinder dirt bikes above tend to use one throttle cable at the lower price end, while the Harley twins often run push-and-pull pairs, which is part of why those sit higher.

What else you may need

Do the job once and check the whole fuel path. Browse Fuel Pumps, Gasket Kits and Head Gaskets if you're going deeper into the top end, plus Oil Filters, Batteries and Fittings. Everything here sits under Engine Components.

Fitment and ordering

All orders ship free, and Affirm and Katapult financing is available at checkout. If you're unsure which cable matches your carb or year, call our fitment line at 813-535-5801 or reach us through contact us before you order.
