-In another DIY project, XLForum member 'Lehel' makes a new Barrel for the broken Clutch Cable and solders it in place: http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2081910. In this day of throwaway parts, DIY projects are personally satisfying and sometimes keep an historic part in operation, besides being inexpensive. In some places, it's the only option.+In another DIY project, XLForum member 'Lehel' makes a new Barrel for the broken Clutch Cable and solders it in place: https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-drivetrain/sportster-motorcycle-transmission-clutch-primary-secondary-drive/204511-soldering-clutch-cable-non-acid-flux?t=2081910.

-Today I ve lost patience searching for fancy stuff (epoxies, etc.). Each wire of the cable end is turned back 180° and pulled back into the barrel. It locked itself in place. I have mounted like this into the lever on the bar. It worked great, not moving at all. Then I soldered. This way, I'm not dependig on the bond of the materials to give me confidence that will last.+Today I've lost patience searching for fancy stuff (epoxies, etc.).
