[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 107069, member: 3426"] I think its just the photo, when I look at it real life its a pretty smooth path. If I back off the adjusters and pull up on the outer cable at the gearbox end while pulling the lever in, it takes less effort than removing the skin off a rice pudding. So... unless there is something funny going on with the lining under load.. There are probably better cables out there. The cable is a used (but appears excellent) Honda cable that I changed the end on to fit the Norton clutch lifter. Again, with the different lever, it no longer qualifies as brutal, but more than I want to contend with in traffic and it doesn't jive with the feedback from others. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
