British control cable and hose specialist Venhill Engineering has introduced a range of replacement H-D clutch cables . Made by Venhill in the UK factory - to its Featherlight specification - they use high quality marine-grade stainless steel inner wire to minimize stretch and a PTFE liner for minimum friction and a lighter action - a big help with heavy Harley controls . The liner also removes the need for regular lubrication . All the cables are ' bird-caged ' - a process applied to the end of the wire , which allows solder to penetrate the weave , making the bond with the nipple much stronger . This improves durability and reduces the risk of cable breakage . The outer conduit is spiral-wound steel , covered with a hardened nylon sleeve , to protect the cable from damage , moisture and corrosion , ensuring all lever force is delivered directly to where it is needed . They can also be made in longer lengths , increasing by 25 mm ( 1 in ) at a time up to 600 mm ( 24 in ) ' overstock '; perfect for riders looking to fit different handlebars , or for custom builders who are altering the bike ' s dimensions . Kits are available for most popular modern Harleys - from the 750 cc Street and Street Rods , right up to the 1,690 cc Electra Glide Classic . All are designed to be a straight swap with the originals - no modifications needed .
