 Has anyone just replaced  the inner cable with one of those make your own kits?

I had a V11 Sport that ate cables. Replaced the stock one with a kit from Auto Barn and rerouted it. No problems thereafter. Measure twice and cut once with a dremel.

No, but word to the wise - I yanked a broken one out to replace it and in doing so disconnected one of the wires from the voltage regulator that plugs into that four-set connector - or so I remember. It took me a while to figure out why the bike wasn't charging. Tease it out carefully.

I have used kits like that in the past. Unfortunately the housing also wears out. I have read about 2 cables per housing and then replace. The last one I had to replace I could feel that the housing was bad. Bought a complete new one.

Give it a shot, it should work fine.

Thanks for the info.

I replaced mine in my '03 California Titanium with a generic one cut to length.  I did that to get things working immediately, and ordered a complete replacement cable just in case the generic replacement breaks again.  There was hardly any lube on the original cable, so I made sure to rectify that.
