    Who makes cables in New Zealand?

    I need all new cables for my 1971 Kawasaki A7 - they're hard to come by and rather expensive, so I think I'll have new cables made up (I don't care much for originality, so that's not of much concern). I just want to send my original control cables (throttle and choke combos, front and rear brake, clutch) to someone and have them send back new cables. Who should I contact about this? Thanks.

    Its an expensive way of doing things but if you send the old they will send back as new (within reason)

    Take them to your local brake and clutch place - they'll do it for you, just check the routing before you put them in.
