Default Rebuilding my 1986 trail boss

Does anyone know of an alternative cable for the trail boss (86). I have been looking, and I can't seem to find a replacement cable. The $ for an OEM is $120.00 (if I can get one). I have looked at a "sleds parts guys"," motion pro" they all seem to carry them fro 88 or 89 on???

Only worked on a couple 86ers,started our shop in 1988,Oem parts are going through the roof as everything else has! If Motion Pro DOESNT have check Tucker Rocky atv catalog or Marshall. Complete tank and body change from 86 to 88. Cables will still be 2-piece,but not sure if length will be too short or too long?

I just bought a throttle cable for my 86 trailboss. It was like 80 bucks or so. I ordered it from www.cheapcycleparts.com

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Thanks Alfire,
I went to the site as suggested. I ordered the same part that would have cost me here in (Ontario) about $145.taxes in. I paid 95.94 plus US exchange, delivered . I figured I saved at least 45 bucks.

For any others that are looking for OEM parts in ontario its worth checking out the site, that Alfire suggested.
