if money is no problem , then Venhill at redhill will make to a pattern with heavy duty outer , other options are JJ cables / MAC classic or the club. not really any difference in quality from what I can see on the last 2 options .

JJ cables / MAC classic or the club.

I'm sure you meant AMC Classic

--------------------------------------------------

When I was experimenting with adaptations for my G3LS I had many bespoke cables made up by Venhill using the threaded end fittings that I supplied. They will of course make up cables using their own end fittings of equal quality.
The difference between theirs and less costly cables is pretty obvious.

I think the question should be where can I buy quality cables that will fit. Actually it's near impossible unless the bike you're working on has all the original fittings it left the factory with. Every cable I have bought regardless of source has required either fettling or scrapping. I only use universal ones and make them to fit what fittings are actually on the bike. Speedo cables not inc in this statement only control cables.
