Hello, sorting out this bike I just purchased and need some help.

CL350 right front brake cable exterior shell is cracked exposing (2) wires inside. I am not sure what this cable does, the other end of the cable enters the back of the headlight compartment. Could someone steer me in the best manner to repair/replace this cable.

The wires inside are Black & Green W/Yellow Stripe

Thanks in advance - JoeLong

that's the brake light switch for the front brake. they're available, but probably harder to find gray if that's what you want (OEM)

Thanks Tom,

Found a gray one on eBay... $$Ouch.

yeah, the black ones are cheaper but it would look out of place next to all your other gray cables, that's how mine is (but I've come to ignore it)

You can always DIY the grey sleeving repair.

Good point, and I bought some from Vintage (so, you) but I'd probably have to cut the black off it to do so, don't think the gray will slip over the black as is and I believe they are the same size. It's kinda invisible to me now and hey, my bike isn't totally period correct anyway... purists hate it, especially my choice of headlight
