Congrats Grampa .. its an amazing experience.

[@RyansGarageUK]

Thank you. Looking forward to seeing him this weekend. 👍

Yes you can just use the single cable & I like that you cut the rear brake height adjuster off then said youll have to fit something to lower it lol & congrats on being a granddad

[@RyansGarageUK]

Thanks Pete. 👍

Well done 👍 but remember to use stainless steel bolts. These zinc-coted bolts get rusty very quickly, especially when cut/drilled into.

[@RyansGarageUK]

Thank you Ki, i will be sure to protect this and all the cleaned up components very soon.

@@RyansGarageUK this piece will rub against metal, very difficult to avoid it rust with any coating. I have stopped using zink plated bolts on my motorcycles after learning it the hard way 🥴

Congratulations Grandpa , carb wise just 1 cable is possible I ran a cm250 on 1 for years 👍

Congrats Grand dad! People sneer at Aldi but some of their stuff is good. I bought their waterproof m/c bags, way cheaper & just as good as branded stuff.

[@RyansGarageUK]

Thank you I must say, I've now used those drill bits a couple of times, and so far so good. 👍🤞

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

@@RyansGarageUK guess what I picked up in Aldi today.... Yep AUD$9.99, drills. They come highly recommended 🙂

If the return spring on the carbs is strong you can get away with single cable. Have had that set up in the past and it works fine.

[@rickconstant6106]

My GS550 was originally designed with dual cables, but by the time I bought it, the twistgrip had been replaced with a single cable set-up. It has never caused a problem and the throttle has always snapped shut as soon as it's released. If it works with 4 mechanical slide carbs, I'm sure it will be ok with 2 butterfly valves.

[@RyansGarageUK]

Thanks, i do think it will be fine but valued a widr opinion.

[@RyansGarageUK]

I agree this small dual carb setup should be an issue.

Another interesting video ... yes life can get in the way some times.....but please please do not lube you chains in this way . Through my many decades in dealer work shops.....i have witnessed more than one horrible accidents involving loose clothing or fingers getting dragged in , am sure many people think this is fine and the correct way to do it .....its not ..........you have a grand child to pic up now...please be VERY careful .

[@RyansGarageUK]

Hi, thank you for your concern. I guess i really should be more careful. Ryan
