Have you tried a normal Honda parts supplier? (Take along the part numbers from the site so they don't have to look them up)

If the worst comes to the worst, they can be custom made. Maybe I'll ask Venhill if they would be prepared to offer something through the Supporting Members area in the near future if the Honda stock of cables is depleted.

Sorry to hijack!

Andy, the choke cables might be something to look into too.
I`ve ordered a 28 one to see if it will fit the 21.

28 and 21 should be pretty much same-same.

another hijack....just got a clutch cable 'custom build' from Venhill for my MC16. Just gotta measure, cut to length and then solder end fitting on. They were great to deal with, ordered by email and recieved by me about 5 days later here in oz

Not really hijacks. Offering alternatives to solve a possible supply problem.

I know I wave a bit of an iron fist around at times, but am I really that bad? Smile
