Title: Spark plug cables, throttle cable, choke cable
Post by: milton2go on April 14, 2023, 08:58:24 PM
Hello fellow Valkers,

I am going to start a "restoration" of my Valkyrie and I am looking for new spark plug cables (ideally red), throttle cable, and choke cable. I would prefer if the throttle and choke cables come in casings that are true stainless so they won't rust so fast. A little tricky to find parts for a nearly vintage motorcycle, so your recommendations of sellers are very welcome.

Have a great weekend!

Milton

If you want red plug wires, you're making your own, using some of the components from the stock wires. See this post: http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,64501.0.html (http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,64501.0.html)

Motion Pro is another place for stainless cables: https://www.motionpro.com/c/armor-coat-cables?v=4435 (https://www.motionpro.com/c/armor-coat-cables?v=4435)

I use blue max, not in red though, closest in design to magnecor out there

best designed cables to get
their red ones very large diameter if u want a fat look

suggest using the John Schmidt choke cable mod. get rid of the cable all together for a clean look.
