Hi Guys,

First time on this forum. Where can I get a pair of throttle cables in the UK for the Mantra? The bike has been off the road for sometime but I have began restoring it. Got some problems so I may be after advice in the near future. Regards Mr Jones.

PS how do you add images to a post?

Contact BimotaClassicParts.
They should be able to help.

If not there is a guy in AUS that seems to have an endless supply of Bimota to break down for spares. He has a few used parts listed now.

Last resort, venhill can replicate the existing cables.
I had to do that on my SB6R. I can not say I was happy with the service or the process. But the end result functioned as it should.

Have a go at making some up yourself, buy a cable kit from the local bike shop, follow the original one for sizing, all you need is some solder and a iron.
Utube has some hints. I think buying second hand cables is false economy.
