I can tell this thing is probably going to spend more time broken, gathering dust than it is going to be on the road.
The cheap plastic throttle broke, so I had to rig up a brake-lever throttle w/brake cable-building up ball ends made of solder so the cable stays where it shouldI soldered it to the brake lever! It's not going anywear!.It works fine now, but not until the plastic housing broke off, & I rigged it up on my own.I'm a little worried that the ball ends will wear out & break off when I'm 30 miles from home.
Now, the clutch cable frayed horribly when I tried to install the clutch lever & spring & all that stuff.It got so bad that I couldn't get that screw thing on the end again.I also filed a slot on the cable adjuster thing on the lever, because I couldn't find one that fit correctly.There's no way to adjust the cable w/out one.
I tried to apply a thin layer of solder over the cable so it wouldn't fray.It didn't work-it just broke off in little pieces when I tried to cut off the frayed end.I tore off the clutch cable & threw it against the wall.It kinda made a snapping noise.
