Throttle cables the same ???

Post by Stoogefan »

Afternoon folks ... question.
I have an `88 Voyager 1300 and my throttle cables are shot. I have a new push cable, but broke the open cable trying to install it.
I've found an entire cable assembly online but it's for `87 Voyager XII. Photos look the same but the part numbers are different.
Anyone know if this assembly will work on mine ? I'm having a helluva time finding a new open cable

Can't say for sure since my Voyagers are '84 and '85, but according to the manaul, both the '87 and '88 models use the same cables since they are the cruise-control models. I just looked and they don't differentiate between the two in the manual.

I doubt the 1300 cable and the XII cable are the same .
BUT
If you compare the picture of the XII cable with the cable you just broke ,don't compare stock photos , you may find that with a little fandangling you could make it work .
I suppose it is possible they used the same cable assembly on both bikes.
