Sportsman Throttle cable end piece
 

I have a 98 sportsman 500 and have lost the small end piece that holds/connects the throttle cable to the carb butterfly.
Its the larger brass looking part that hold the small cable end.
anyone know where I can pick one up or another option.
I guess a universal cable will have the larger end. just thought I'd check if these pieces were sold or not.

thanks

just found one.. everyone wants 17 for that puppy.. anyone know of a replacement cable that would get around not having that piece.

You can find then for 12 bucks on ebay,but shipping is around 6 bucks.Either way an expensive piece of brass. Easy little part to slip out of your hands as I've dropped a few over the years.

thanks,
I searched far and wide for them.. I finally broke down and got one.. was hoping there was a cheaper alternative. guess i could make one.. but I guess my time is worth a little. :)
I thought about using a small screw, but that might cut the cable and break while riding..

On the throttle cable guide I wouldn't take chances with a home made part. Remember to adjust the throttle cable to where you only have 1/8" slack at the thumb lever so the etc contacts won't touch.
