hang on - accelerator cable needed
jennifer:
I guess Jen doesnt understand what your saying, The control box on your link is the same thing as the control box on my link,(minus the cables)....Edit, Its the curved pipe ends your talking about right? Ok, now I get it. Suzo Happ may have them.
Le Chuck:
yeah, sorry. Those are standard brake cables.

search brake cable and look for ends that are close, or buy one of the cables that comes with a pack of ends. If you take the cable to a bike shop or to an auto store they can probably give you a like replacement right off the wall. There is nothing special about those cables. Super Hang On has a twist cable for the throttle, rather than than a pull. The cable rotates inside the sleeve, trickier to find. I'm thinking about converting mine over to pull cables as it's how all throttles (analog not digital ones) are built anyway.

thank you both for the input!
i do have a local bike shop and thought of them but how would that attached end for the pull cable fit thru those curved pipe ends?
ah well, i have enough to try something now, thank you both for your input.

Le Chuck:
You can get adjustable ones where the end has a grub/set screw. That way you can trim the cable to length. Once you do it the first time you'll realize how easy it is.
tony.silveira:
i just did it and you're right, painfully simple. my accelerator works beautifully now, thank you both for your input.
i am having an issue with the left right though and i can not figure it out. i completely disassembled the controller to clean and paint it. after putting it back together, turning left/right is "sticky", meaning it isn't very smooth. if i loosen the two main bolts that hold it together it turns easier but i don't remember those bolts being loose when i first took it apart.
can anyone confirm is there was some grease in there to help the left/right movement that maybe i removed when i cleaned it up?
thanks again lechuck,
tony
