Harley Cables — Throttle, Clutch & Brake Cables for Every Harley-Davidson

Welcome to our Harley Cables collection — your source for high-quality throttle cables, clutch cables, brake cables and complete cable kits designed to fit a wide range of Harley-Davidson models. Whether you’re replacing worn factory cables, upgrading to taller handlebars, or customizing your bike’s control setup, the right cables ensure smooth operation, proper control feel and long-lasting reliability.

Why Quality Cables Matter on a Harley

Cables are a very important control components on any motorcycle — and one of the most overlooked. Worn or poorly fitted cables can lead to issues such as:

• Sticky or slow throttle return

• Hard clutch pull or inconsistent engagement

• Poor brake response (for cable-operated front brakes on older models)

• Increased vibration or cable stretch

• Premature wear or failure due to routing issues

Upgrading to premium cables provides:

• Smoother, more responsive throttle control

• Lighter clutch pull and better release feel

• Clean routing for tall bars or custom setups

• Improved durability against heat, weather and friction

• A better overall riding experience

Whether you’re maintaining a stock bike or building something custom, cables make a big difference in control and comfort.

Choosing the Right Harley Cables

1. Cable Type

We offer all the essential control cables for your Harley:

• Throttle cables (push/pull)

• Clutch cables

• Idle cables

• Front brake cables (for older cable-operated systems)

• Complete cable kits for bar swaps or full control upgrades

2. Handlebar Height & Routing

If you’ve installed new handlebars — tall T-bars, ape hangers, moto bars, or risers — you’ll likely need extended-length cables. Proper cable length ensures:

• No binding during full lock-to-lock turns

• Smooth clutch and throttle pull

• Safe, clean routing around the frame and fairing

3. Cable Finish

Choose a finish that matches your bike’s style:

• Black vinyl

• Stainless braided

• Black braided or matte finishes

• Polished or chrome-style options

Matching cables add a clean, cohesive look to any cockpit setup.

4. Model-Specific Fitment

Harley models vary across years and platforms — Touring, Softail, Sportster, Dyna, FXR, and more. Always select cables matched to your bike for correct fitment and operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need new cables when changing handlebars?
Most of the time — taller bars or risers typically require extended throttle and clutch cables for proper routing and safe operation.

How do I know what cable length I need?
Measure your current setup or follow handlebar manufacturer recommendations. You can also contact us with your bar height and bike model and we’ll calculate cable lengths for you.

Are braided cables better than vinyl?
Braided cables offer improved durability and a cleaner custom look, but both deliver excellent performance when properly lined.

Should I replace cables preventively?
If your cables feel sticky, frayed, or have inconsistent tension, replacement is recommended for safety and performance.
